Hunterdon Freeholders’ Budget
Freezes Tax Rate At 2018 Level
Van Doren: ‘Key Part Of Economic Recovery Plan’
|
|
The Hunterdon county tax rate will be frozen at the 2018 level again this year, even with additional COVID-19 emergency response costs, under the 2020 budget introduced by the Hunterdon County Freeholders, at the April 21
st
Board meeting that was held by teleconference.
“Holding the county tax rate at the 2018 level again this year is a key part of the County’s plan for economic recovery. With all else that is going on, our business and residential taxpayers need this,” Freeholder Board Director Shaun C. Van Doren stated at the meeting.
The 2020 county tax rate will be 31.5 cents per $100 of property valuation, the same rate as in 2019 and 2018, under the $89.348 million county budget.
