Commissioners have put out a call for residents to attend a preliminary meeting for any taxpayer who has a question about the 2010 budget.
The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 22 at 7 p.m. at borough hall.
The $13.9 million budget — minus grant expenditures — increased by $80,000 over last year’s.
The tax rate was bumped up to 42.39 cents per every $100 of assessed property value, an increase of 2.9 cents from 2009. The average assessed home in the borough of $491,359 will see an increase of about $156 from their 2009 tax bill. The total local tax bill for the average assessed home is about $2,083.
It will be an open meeting for residents to attend and ask any question they have regarding the document or how it was crafted, commissioners said.
A public hearing and adoption will be held at the Commission meeting on Tuesday, July 27.
Residents can view the entire document on the borough’s Web site at haddonfieldnj.org.
