Township of Shrewsbury

What Township of Shrewsbury does

The Township of Shrewsbury is a small municipal government entity in Monmouth County, New Jersey, originally formed on October 31, 1693 and formally established as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798. It operates under the Township form of government with a three-member Township Committee (Mayor Lester J. Jennings, Deputy Mayor Lynda Lettice, Committeeman Glenwood J. Puhak). The Township occupies just 0.1 square miles, comprising only three streets — Crawford, Barker, and Belshaw — making it one of the smallest municipalities in New Jersey. Its 2026 Municipal Budget reflects total general appropriations of $1,200,102.39, with $856,395 to be raised by local property taxes.

The Township delivers core municipal services to residents through its municipal building at 1979 Crawford Street, including vital statistics, dog licensing, tax collection, code enforcement, public works, recreation, stormwater management, and elections. Specialized services — municipal court, emergency medical services, fire protection, recycling coordination, and animal control — are delivered through inter-municipal shared service agreements with the Borough of Red Bank, the Borough of Eatontown, Monmouth County, and the Monmouth County SPCA. The Township maintains no proprietary technology products, software platforms, or commercial revenue streams; it does not operate in any technology product market.

Revenue is derived from three primary streams: recurring property taxes (the dominant source, ~71% of budget), one-time municipal fees and licenses (dog licenses at $18, $15 if spayed/neutered; vital records; construction permits), and intergovernmental state and county aid including Community Development Block Grants. The Township divested its water and wastewater assets to New Jersey American Water Company in 2024–2025, with proceeds pending NJ Department of Community Affairs approval. Public school students attend the Tinton Falls School District (K–8) and Monmouth Regional High School (9–12), with the Township holding one seat on the K–8 board of education.
