Your Township Government UpdateThe Township welcomes two new Public Works employees, Patrick Jones and Anthony Delallana! We are glad you are here! A presentation of the design of the new Municipal Complex to be built behind its current location was made at the October 10 Township Committee meeting. The presentation can be found on our website: www.bordentowntownship.com/new_municipal_complex. The buildings on two adjacent Township-owned properties have been demolished to start preparing the site for construction. The repaving work on Groveville Road from Route 206 to the entrance of Northern Community Park is complete. The Township is going out to bid the road improvements to Holloway Lane and Williamsburg Drive this month.

Anchor Property Tax ReliefNews about Property Tax Relief! The State may have sent you an “ANCHOR Benefit Confirmation Letter” notifying you that you meet the requirements for the ANCHOR Property Relief Program. If the information in that letter remains the same, no action is necessary. If, however, your information has changed, you should have made changes by September 30. If you did not receive an “ANCHOR Benefit Confirmation Letter,” but meet the requirements based on 2020 residency, you may still apply! Check out the State’s Website! You must file by December 30, 2023. The ANCHOR (Affordable New Jersey Communities for Homeowners and Renters) property tax relief program replaced the Homestead Benefit program and expanded eligibility to twice as many homeowners and includes tenants.
