Five governments run on your community's money

This page shows every government that serves ZIP 08041: the state, county, city or town and school district, and where each one's money comes from and goes.

Each government is shown for its own newest fiscal year on file, so the years differ. Figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau's Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances, the government's own report or, for New Jersey governments, the New Jersey Department of Education, as named under Sources and more.

Where do my taxes go in 08041?
08041 is served by the State of New Jersey, Burlington County, Springfield Township, North Burlington County Regional High School District and Springfield Township School District. In each one's latest recorded fiscal year, State of New Jersey spent $97.4 billion (fiscal year ended June 30, 2024), Burlington County spent $389 million (fiscal year ended December 31, 2023), Springfield Township spent $3.5 million (fiscal year ended December 31, 2021), North Burlington County Regional High School District spent $63.3 million (fiscal year ended June 30, 2024) and Springfield Township School District spent $6.8 million (fiscal year ended June 30, 2025). Each government's money is separate.

Which governments collect property tax in 08041?
Of the governments serving 08041, Burlington County collected $176 million (fiscal year ended December 31, 2023), North Burlington County Regional High School District collected $25.2 million (fiscal year ended June 30, 2024), State of New Jersey collected $5.0 million (fiscal year ended June 30, 2024), Springfield Township School District collected $3.5 million (fiscal year ended June 30, 2025) and Springfield Township collected $3.0 million (fiscal year ended December 31, 2021) in property tax. These are each government's total collections, not a bill for 08041.

Yearly budgets from each government's latest fiscal year on record. Tap one to jump to it.

Why not this year? New Jersey governments with newer filings show school district figures from the New Jersey Department of Education (for 2025). Each other figure is the newest year the U.S. Census Bureau has published for that government, so the years differ and are not the current year. Most governments post their current budget on their own website.

Springfield Township. U.S. Census Bureau, 2022 Census of Governments, Finance, individual unit file, fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Most of this government's figures were estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau from a sample; the government did not report them itself. The Census record for this government is from the 2022 survey, the newest on file.

North Burlington County Regional High School District. U.S. Census Bureau, 2024 Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances, individual unit file, fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

Springfield Township School District. New Jersey Department of Education, district Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (audited), fiscal year 2025, fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The earlier Census figures are from U.S. Census Bureau, 2024 Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances, individual unit file, fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

How these figures are counted. New Jersey school district figures are from each district's audited Annual Comprehensive Financial Report filed with the New Jersey Department of Education for the 2024-25 school year, ended June 30, 2025, grouped into the same categories as the Census figures. They cover governmental funds (general, special revenue, capital projects, debt service) and enterprise funds such as food service, and leave out transfers between funds. Tuition paid to other districts and payments to charter schools are shown as passed on. The "Debt payments" line includes principal as well as interest, so spending can be higher than the Census figure for the same district.

How a ZIP is matched. A ZIP code is not a government boundary, so we match it to the cities, counties and school districts that overlap it, using Census Bureau geography. Where a ZIP crosses several, each one is shown with its share of the ZIP. Each government's money covers its own operations only; the others listed here are separate.

Latest recorded year. The year differs by government: each block shows the newest fiscal year on file. A Census survey year covers fiscal years ending July 1 of the year before through June 30 of that year.
