MARLBORO-COLTS NECK, NJ — Marlboro and Colts Neck residents will join thousands across New Jersey when they hit the polls for the 2026 General Election.
On Tuesday, Nov. 3, General Election Day will take place, though the early voting period will run from Saturday, Oct. 24 through Sunday, Nov. 1.
Should Colts Neck Township increase the annual levy for Open Space, Farmland and Historic Preservation, within Colts Neck Township from the amount of $0.012 per $100 to the amount of $0.027 per $100 of assessed valuation of real property?
Explanatory Statement
The proposed referendum seeks to increase the dedicated farmland, open space and historic preservation tax from the current $0.012 to $0.027 per $100 of assessed valuation. The increase is being proposed to provide additional funds to afford the Township the ability to acquire additional land dedicated for farmland, open space and/or historic preservation, in furtherance of the Township's commitment to maintaining the rural character of the Township by preserving open space.
For an average home assessed at $1,367,047, this would increase the tax payment from $164.05 per year to $369.10 per year. Revenues from this dedicated open space tax will be used for farmland, open space and historic preservation, including debt service.
