Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 87%
  • Utility sales 13%
  • Other taxes & licenses <1%

Revenue here is well above spending. That usually means Saddle Brook collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted above.

Saddle Brook didn't report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau's estimates.
