Together We Can Make an Impact & Stabilize Property Taxes - Join the Movement

TeamLongBranch (TLB) is an community-wide nonpartisan and independent initiative to bring together voters to LOWER PROPERTY TAXES and make AFFORDABILITY a primary concern in the City of Long Branch by holding the Mayor, City Council, Municipal employees and current laws accountable to the people. Long Branch is a small city of 30,000+ people - the residents and property owners deserve better - affordability, lower rents and quality of life is our foremost concern.  

Important Facts: 

1. Did you know that the State of  New Jersey, Monmouth County, City of Long Branch has one of the highest property taxes in the United States?
   
   

2. Did you know that over 50% of the City of Long Branch is summer homes used by residents for less than 3 months a year?
   
   This means that costs and expenses should be exceedingly low for the city and decrease over time as more homes become just summer residences. This means more benefits to year-round residents.

3. Did you know that the student count in Long Branch's public schools has been shrinking year over year for the last 3+ years alongside the budget ballooning?
   
   Why would a school budget increase year-over-year when the student count are decreasing and overall efficiencies in teaching tools and technology is increasing which bring down expenses. Where is all this money going?
