The Municipal Budget

The basis for municipal budgeting is found in the Local Budget Law (N.J.S.A. 40A:4-1).

The budget is a financial plan involving the estimate of expenditures and the revenues with which to finance those expenditures. It provides the authority to tax in order to provide the revenue necessary to bring the budget into balance. The budget is adopted annually and is carefully monitored throughout the year. 

Escrow

Escrow funds are those that are deposited with, and administered by, the Township on behalf of a zoning or planning board applicants. Those funds are utilized to pay professionals (engineers, architects, attorneys, planners) for services rendered in the review, analysis and determination of the applications.
