Passaic County is committed to pursuing shared services agreements, with the twofold goal of reducing property taxes and increasing efficiencies in government services. We are working cooperatively with local, County, and State partners to reach these goals, as demonstrated below. All the active shared services agreements within Passaic County are available as a resource for local governments and citizens.

For shared services related inquiries, please write to Nicholas Haggerty, Shared Services Agreement Coordinator, at nhaggerty [at] passaiccountynj [dot] org or call (973) 881-4403.
