The 2026 Ocean County rates were not published in a readable form yet.

Water and sewer: the Tax Collector's page gives one household rate of $7.90 per thousand gallons of water/sewer plus a $95 quarterly ready-to-serve charge ($95 / 3 a month), all modelled as water with sewer at $0. The borough says water/sewer is billed according to the section of town, and the page shows one rate.
