When it comes to municipal or school district budgets, the thing most homeowners are concerned about is how it will affect their taxes. So let’s get down to brass tacks.

The tentative Little Egg Harbor School District budget for the 2022-23 school year will increase the elementary school tax of the owner of an average home in that municipality, assessed at $201,793, by $20, or $1.66 a month. That homeowner paid $1,145 in the last school year, a number that will increase to $1,165.
