1-Cent Tax Rate Increase In 2025 Barnegat Municipal Budget
This is the eighth year in a row that the municipal tax rate is only going up one cent, according to township officials.
BARNEGAT, NJ — A one-cent municipal tax rate increase is in store for 2025 in Barnegat, according to township officials.
That's the eighth year in a row that the tax rate increase is only one cent, township CFO Tom Lombarksi explained at a recent township committee meeting where he introduced the $35.7 million budget.
This means that the average homeowner, with a home assessed at $272,775, will pay an extra $30 on their annual tax bills. Property tax rates are based on your home's assessed value, not its market value.

The budget was then adopted by the committee.
