Ridgewood’s average taxpayers will shell out no more in municipal taxes this year than they did in 2012, as the Village Council approved the 2013 budget Wednesday night.

The council’s 4-to-1 decision to introduce the approximate $45.3 million spending plan and zero percent tax increase over last year leads up to a June 12 public hearing. On that date, residents will have an opportunity to comment on various components of the budget prior to the governing body’s adoption vote.
According to Village Manager Ken Gabbert, the municipal portion of this year’s taxes will equate to $3,973, the average amount paid in 2012.
The 2013 bill is based on the average Ridgewood home value of $687,364, a figure that was determined during a recently completed village-wide assessment.

Who voted in favor of more taxes?
Probably the guy who knows spending $3,000,000 from surplus is just a gag!
ahh as long as we keep up on the services. if that is not keept up people will move.
This may be the only time that a Ridgewood resident wants to be ranked below “average”.
