The More Members We Have, The More We Can Do

There is strength in numbers. Politicians take notice when they see a well-attended Holgate Taxpayers Association (HTA) meeting. Member dues support local charities and first responders. We are a volunteer organization that has the best interests of the local community in mind.

The HTA was founded in July of 1959 by a group of interested and concerned residents. The original name of the organization was the Beach Haven Inlet Taxpayer’s Association. The HTA provides a means of communication and information for property owners while monitoring the local governing body. We host two annual membership meetings to which the township commissioners are invited, and publish newsletters for our members on a regular basis.

Most of the residents of Holgate are seasonal and do not have the opportunity to vote in local elections. Our geographic location at the end of the island, separated from the rest of Long Beach Township by Beach Haven, tends to isolate us from the Brant Beach “power base” where the police station and township offices are located. The HTA is dedicated to keep Holgate special and remind the township of our needs.

Leaders needed: we always welcome “new blood” to take one of the several leadership roles in the HTA organization. We are looking for self-motivated individuals willing and able to work together on all of the issues facing Holgate. Even a few hours of your time can make a real difference. Over 500 members strong, the HTA can become even stronger with your support and $25 annual dues.
