Dear Greenwich Township residents:

Recently Greenwich residents received their new property tax bill for the 2014 year. I and other members of the Greenwich Township Committee (your local elected officials) have received calls and emails from frustrated and concerned residents regarding the significant increase in their property taxes. Understandably residents are upset that we are being burdened with higher taxes. Consequently, this letter is being sent to explain these tax bills to you.

In New Jersey, municipal governments are assigned the responsibility of billing and collecting taxes for all taxing authorities in their town. Greenwich municipal government collects and keeps only the taxes you see on your tax bill as “local municipal tax” and “municipal open space tax.” Combined, these Greenwich municipal taxes comprise 15.2% of your tax bill. If you compare your bills from prior years, you will see that the “local municipal tax” and the “municipal open space tax” rates have not increased since 2011. [Read More...]
