Borough Of Lodi

What Borough Of Lodi does

The Borough of Lodi is an incorporated municipal government entity serving residents of Lodi, Bergen County, New Jersey, from its seat at 1 Memorial Drive. It delivers the standard portfolio of local-government services through dedicated departments — Police (accredited agency), Volunteer Fire Department (82 volunteers across three stations), Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Public Works, Recreation, Tax Collection, Tax Assessment, Vital Statistics, Zoning, Senior Services, and a Municipal Court — supported by 12 election districts and four polling locations. Its customer base consists of borough residents, local businesses, and property owners, segmented into general residents, senior citizens (55+), families and youth, pet owners, and local businesses.

The borough's service delivery is increasingly digitized. The official website (lodi-nj.org) runs on the QScend Technologies CMS platform, while GovPilot powers online permit, licensing, and registration forms (filming, business, pet, landlord, vacant property, CCO, food license). Community Pass handles recreation registration, the Recycle Coach App provides recycling schedules, and the Lodi NJ NOW mobile application delivers real-time alerts and emergency notifications. Safety infrastructure includes Panasonic body-worn cameras deployed per NJ Attorney General Directive 2021-5 and the Smart911 emergency notification system. Public-facing transparency is supported through live-streamed council and board meetings and an eCode360-published municipal code.

Funding comes principally from quarterly real estate property tax collections (8% interest on first $1,500 of delinquency, 18% on remainder) supplemented by a distributed mix of unit-priced fees: pet licensing ($8 spayed/neutered, $11 intact), dog park permits ($3 resident, $7 non-resident), marriage license applications ($28), vital records certified copies ($10), summer camp registration ($250 per child, capped at 175), zoning and building permits, business licenses, and parking permits. The municipality maintains operational partnerships with Bergen County Government, BCUA, Passaic Valley Water Commission, PSE&G, the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission, the Bergen County Health Department, the Lodi Board of Education, the Lodi Housing Authority, the NJ Conference of Mayors, SafeKids Worldwide, eCode360, and QScend Technologies. Leadership comprises Mayor Scott A. Luna (since 2019), Deputy Mayor Vincent Martin, Council members Bruce T. Masopust, Emil Carafa Jr., and Mark DelMonaco, Municipal Manager Marc N. Schrieks, and Police Chief Donald Scorzetti.
