How does this
search work?
- This
search is sorted by county and municipality.
- To list
all municipalities in all counties, enter no search criteria and
click Start Search.
- To restrict
the search to a subset of municipalities, complete one or more of the
search options as needed.
- County:
Click on a county name. This will restrict the list to a single
county.
- Municipality:
Type all or part of a municipality name. This will restrict the
list to only those municipalities with the requested text in the
name. The search text can be anywhere in the name. For example,
'beach' will list Bradley Beach
Boro, Beach Haven Boro, Beachwood
Boro and others.
- Legislative
District: Type the legislative district number. This will restrict
the list to a single legislative district. For maps and more information
about legislative districts, see www.njleg.state.nj.us/districts/districtnumbers.asp.
What
do the columns and codes mean?
- Municipality:
The official name of the town, township, city, borough, or village.
- County:
County in which the municipality is located.
- 1968
Code: Standard four-digit identification code designating the county
and municipality (per Department of Treasury Directive No 3 dated June
1, 1968). The original numbering scheme was based on an alphabetical
list within county. Newly-formed municipalities are given the next available
number and codes are not reassigned when a municipality changes its
name and thus its alphabetical position in the list.
- Treasury
Code: Standard four-digit identification code designating the county
and municipality issued by the Division of Taxation. The numbering scheme
is based on an alphabetical list within county. Codes are re-assigned
for some or all municipalities within a county if a municipality is
newly-formed, incorporated, or renamed and alters the alphabetical sequence
of the list.
- Federal
Code: Standard eight-digit identification code designating the county
and municipality issued by the Federal Census Bureau. The numbering
scheme is based on an alphabetic list within county. The first two numbers
represent the state, the next three represent the county and the final
three represent the municipality. The initial numbering sequence skipped
two digits for each county and five digits for each municipality so
that newly-formed or renamed municipalities can be assigned an available
number without affecting the existing code assignments.
- Legislative
District: Legislative district to which the municipality is assigned.
NOTE: Some municipalities in New Jersey have multiple legislative districts.
