Borough of Seaside Heights

What Borough of Seaside Heights does

The Borough of Seaside Heights is a municipal government located in Ocean County, New Jersey, serving approximately 2,903 permanent residents and a substantially larger seasonal tourist population drawn to its Atlantic beachfront and Boardwalk. It delivers the standard suite of municipal services including police, public works, code enforcement, beach operations, tax collection, and a municipal court. The borough's website is built on the CivicPlus content management platform and exposes online bill payment, Notify Me email/text alerts, and Swift 911 emergency notifications as resident-facing digital channels. Revenue mechanics are those of a typical New Jersey shore borough: property taxes form the structural base, while beach badge sales, parking fees, Boardwalk-related concessions, and seasonal utility charges layer on top during the summer tourism window. Economic activity is heavily concentrated in the May-September season, making municipal cash flow structurally lumpy and weather-dependent. Operational leadership is split between an elected Mayor, a Borough Council, and an appointed Borough Administrator responsible for day-to-day administration.
