No Tax Increase for 2019
Mayor Tamburro Signs Municipal Budget with No Tax Increase for 2019
MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J. – May 7, 2019 – Monroe Township Mayor Gerald W. Tamburro signed a 2019 municipal budget with zero increase after a public hearing at last evening’s regular meeting of Monroe Township Council. The annual municipal budget was introduced at the April 1 Township Council meeting.
“I am pleased to have signed our 2019 Township budget that includes zero increase to the municipal tax rate,” said Mayor Gerald W. Tamburro. “This budget is the culmination of a year-long process with fiscally responsible decisions, careful negotiating and thoughtful planning at its core. All of which help to maintain Monroe’s position as the second lowest overall effective tax rate in Middlesex County and contribute to our AA+ bond rating.”
The newly adopted municipal budget reflects productive negotiations related to municipal employee healthcare benefits among the contributing factors for this flat tax rate. The adopted budget maintains the previous year’s tax rate of $47.6 cents per $100 assessed value.
Middlesex County also recently passed a 2019 operating budget that contains no tax rate increase.
