• Neptune residents unlikely to face another property tax shock this year (app.com) — If you live in or near Neptune City, you’ll want to watch Neptune Township’s new school and municipal budgets, which together drive most local property tax bills. Officials say a small school tax levy increase should be offset by a slight municipal tax rate cut, easing fears after last year’s steep hike, though rising home assessments and state aid cuts still pressure taxpayers.
