Average Wyckoff Tax Bill Could Increase $7
The slight increase is due to a $19.5 million municipal budget, which was introduced earlier this month.
WYCKOFF, NJ — The average homeowner's municipal property tax bill could increase less than $8 this year.
The Township Committee introduced a $19.5 million budget for 2107. The budget is below the state-mandated 2 percent increase cap and about $750,000 more than the 2016 budget. The $19.5 million includes the Wyckoff Public Library's budget.
The budget includes appropriations for road resurfacing, replacing Department of Public Works equipment, having a new roof put on Firehouse No. 1, and purchasing protective gear and breathing apparatuses for firefighters.
