By what date must the Annual Financial Statement be submitted to NJ DLGS?

The Annual Financial Statement must be submitted to the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs' Division of Local Government Services (DLGS) by February 10. This deadline is critical for ensuring that local governments maintain transparency and accountability regarding their financial operations. The submission of the Annual Financial Statement allows the state to monitor the financial health of municipalities and ensure compliance with state regulations and fiscal policies.

Submitting the statement by this date helps the DLGS in its duty to oversee municipal finances, enabling them to provide support and assistance where needed. Meeting the February 10 deadline is essential for municipalities to qualify for certain state funding programs and to establish a stable financial standing.
