The Big Issues
the facts on taxes
The Borough has kept tax rates steady while delivering top-rate services, programs, and community events for Glassboro residents. In fact, in the last six years, taxes only went up by one percent, which equates on average to just $25 per year per family and was held at a flat rate in 2022. It’s clear that the money is going a long way and provides direct benefits back to residents and families. From road improvement projects to Rowan Boulevard to expanded community services, your hard-earned tax dollars are coming back over and over again as you enjoy and benefit from all that Glassboro has to offer.
