A 1083 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Permits counties to charge a fee to fund infrastructure through voter approval.

This bill allows New Jersey counties to charge a voter-approved fee to fund local infrastructure projects like roads, bridges, and water systems. Counties must first get voter approval (over 50% in a referendum) for the fee's amount, duration, and projects before collecting it. Proceeds from the fee must be used exclusively for infrastructure construction within that county, administered by the county government. It does not change existing state funding for infrastructure but gives counties a new local funding option.
