Marlboro Township, New Jersey, has maintained its Aaa Long-Term Rating from Moody's, the highest rating for short-term note issuances and Aaa for long-term obligations. The rating was assigned to Marlboro's bonds in 2021 and is the highest grade available in the marketplace. Moody's highlighted the township's strong local economy and resident income levels, strong financial ratios, affordable debt levels, and sound management practices. The credit rating was upgraded to Aa1 in 2016 and later upgraded to AAA by Standard & Poor's (S&P), the second credit rating upgrade in two years. The township's financial stability and ability to maintain reserves despite high costs due to severe storms, inflation, and a State Health Benefits Program that is out of control were noted in Moody's report. As of January 2026, only six municipalities, representing 1% of New Jersey towns, were rated both Aaa and AAA by Moody's.
