Borough of Roseland, NJ

What Borough of Roseland, NJ does

Borough of Roseland is a municipal government entity serving approximately 6,000 residents in Essex County, New Jersey, founded in 1908 and operating under the administrative structure typical of New Jersey boroughs with an elected Mayor, Borough Council, and appointed department heads. It delivers essential public services including police protection and emergency management, water and sewer utilities (billed quarterly), road and infrastructure maintenance, trash and recycling collection, recreation programs, community events, senior citizen services, affordable housing administration, planning and zoning, and municipal court operations. Revenue is derived from property taxes set by the Borough Council, quarterly water/sewer utility rates, recreation program fees, and state aid — there are no commercial revenue streams.

The Borough operates a CivicPlus CivicEngage-powered municipal website (roselandnj.org) as its primary digital channel for citizen engagement, integrated with third-party service providers including Edmunds & Associates for tax/utility payments, CapturePoint for recreation registration, and CivicReady for emergency notifications. Distribution is multi-channel: in-person services at Borough Hall (140 Eagle Rock Avenue), online self-service portals, and regional partnerships including the East Hanover Health Department for public health programs and Essex County Utilities Authority for waste management. Outreach is supplemented by active social media presence across Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Flickr, a local cable access channel (Roseland TV), and a weekly email newsletter ('This Week in Roseland') distributed via Constant Contact.

The Borough's near-term strategic focus centers on adoption of its amended Fourth Round Housing Element and Fair Share Plan (Planning Board public hearing scheduled March 9, 2026) and a preliminary affordable housing development application at the Becker Farm site with partner Avalon Becker Farm. Operational compliance issues are present, including a reported October 2025 water quality monitoring non-compliance by the Roseland Water Department (PWSID #NJ 0718001). Leadership includes Maureen Chumacas, who serves concurrently as Tax Collector, Borough Administrator, CFO, and Qualified Purchasing Agent.
