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?
