Burlington County adopts $233 million budget with no tax levy increase
MOUNT HOLLY — The Burlington County Board of Commissioners on Wednesday adopted the 2021 county budget with no tax levy increase.
The $233 million budget calls for a combined tax levy of $190 million, including $169.7 million for county operations, $11 million for the Burlington County Library System and $9.9 million for open space and farmland preservation operations — all unchanged from 2020.
“While the economic outlook has brightened considerably from a year ago, we know the crisis has not yet ended and that many families and small businesses are still struggling,” said Commissioner Director Felicia Hopson. “Our county is still in recovery so our Board was determined not to add to our residents’ tax burdens."
