What stands out about how Lebanon is run

North Hunterdon-Voorhees Regional School District
Lebanon’s high school district, shared with Bethlehem Township, Califon, Clinton, Clinton Township, Franklin Township and more. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $30,628 per pupil, $18,755 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
New Jersey districts overall: 48% local, 46% state, 6% federal.
Lebanon Borough School District · $35,560 per pupil
School year 2023–24. Census Bureau school finance survey.
No comparison or trend for Lebanon yet
The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample), and Lebanon’s 2022 operating figures are mostly a Census estimate, so they aren’t compared. It reported 2022 only, so there is no trend yet either. The next full count is 2027.
How Town Hall compares budgets →The typical homeowner pays $8,382 a year
Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 2.24% of the home’s value, vs 2.11% across New Jersey.
Typical yearly bill next door and statewide
The Housing page’s calculator splits a monthly payment into loan, tax and insurance at Lebanon’s rate.
Can I afford it? →The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
