Governor Christie’s Ongoing Best Practices Initiative Getting Results for Local Property Taxpayers

Trenton, NJ – December 6, 2011 – (RealEstateRama) — As part of the Christie Administration’s continued commitment to rein in the cost of government, maximize taxpayer dollars and provide sustainable property tax relief, Governor Chris Christie today released the Year Two Best Practices Checklist results, which demonstrate that the majority of municipalities are adhering to good governance practices and working to achieve greater efficiencies. These results — for the approximately 545 municipalities operating on a calendar year budget — were compiled by the Department of Community Affairs (DCA). Earlier this year, DCA also began working with all 21 counties to complete similar Best Practices Checklists, with results to be released next year.
