A set State index rate can be increased to a maximum of 3.5% at the discretion of the Governing Body by ordinance of each respective Municipality. |

Consideration is given to Municipalities experiencing significant growth by permitting an adjustment for new construction placed on the tax rolls as shown to the left. An allowance is also permitted for unconsumed CAP adjustments by allowing a 2-year banking of CAP credits for good management. |
