Thank you for being a neighbor
Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Teterboro collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.
Teterboro didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.
