Bergen County Executive Kathleen Donovan will propose a $511 million budget this week that calls for a nearly 2 percent increase in the amount to be raised by county taxes.
That will mean a tax increase of $6.49 this year for the owner of a home assessed at the county average of $324,200.
“I have kept my promise to keep it under the rate of inflation for four years,” Donovan said last week while previewing the budget proposal before The Record’s editorial board.
Donovan will present the budget Wednesday to the freeholders, who have the final say on the spending plan.
