Property Taxes

What is happening?

Property taxes fund schools, public safety, roads, and local services. Rates and assessments are set locally.

Why does it matter?

Your mayor, council, county officials, and school board all influence how much you pay and what those dollars buy.

Who has the power?

Government level

Municipal · County · School District

Offices

Mayor · City Council · County Freeholders · School Board

Authority has limits. Matching your concern to the correct office prevents wasted attention on races that cannot decide the outcome you care about.

Which elections matter?

What do candidates say?

Priya PatelCandidate-provided statement

Seek efficiencies and grants before asking taxpayers for new operating increases.
