The tax increase is equal to one month's mortgage payment which is unfair for new homeowners with young families especially in this tough economic times.

The tax has increased 15% compared to last year (2011) and 53% compared to 2008. Below are the tax rates for the last 5 years:

2008 - 2009 - 1.722 %

2009 -2010 -  1.827 %

2010 - 2011 - 1.920 %

2011 - 2012 - 2.175 %

2012 - 2013 - 2.507 %

The township of Chesterfield is a small town with about 4,600 residents but does not enjoy even the basics like municipal trash collection!

The 2% cap on tax rate increases passed by NJ governor has not applied to Chesterfield WHY ???
