SPRING LAKE HEIGHTS — The borough council unanimously adopted a 2023 municipal budget on Monday, May 15, resulting in a tax rate decrease of about three-and-a-half cents per $100 of assessed valuation.
Total appropriations are $8,078,990, up approximately $112,941 from 2022.
Although the tax rate has gone down, assessed valuations in the borough have risen, so some homeowners may have to pay more in municipal taxes, even at the slightly lower rate per $100. The average assessed value of residential properties in the borough is $750,000.
