How many days after budget adoption must a certified copy of the budget be transmitted to the county board of taxation?

A certified copy of the adopted municipal budget is required to be transmitted to the county board of taxation within 15 days following the budget's adoption. This timeline is crucial as it ensures that the county tax officials have the necessary information to facilitate accurate property tax assessments and allocations. This process is part of ensuring accountability and transparency in budgeting and financial planning at the municipal level. By adhering to this 15-day requirement, municipalities maintain compliance with state regulations and uphold the integrity of the budget process.
