Did you know that Princeton University...
• is the largest taxpayer in both Princeton Borough
and Princeton Township, paying $5 million in property and
sewer taxes?
• voluntarily pays full taxes -- local, county and
school -- on all faculty, staff and graduate student
residences that have the potential of housing any
school-aged children? Under New Jersey law, these properties
might qualify for tax exemption, but the University chooses
to leave them on the tax rolls to ensure compensation to the
public schools.
• has given the borough, township and community
organizations millions of dollars in cash and in-kind
donations during the past five years?
• spends approximately $275,000 for maintaining 8.5
miles of University-owned, but publicly used roadways, such
as Faculty Road, and has spent $2.1 million on crosswalk and
road improvement projects on both its own roads and public
roads during the past decade?
• provides hundreds of volunteers (staff and
students) for area community service organizations every
year?
