Newark Finance Department - Data Control - Newark, NJ

Financial Records and Data Integrity

The Newark Data Control unit is a specialized division within the Department of Finance. Located at 828 Broad Street (distinct from City Hall), this office is responsible for the accuracy and management of the city's financial databases. The unit plays a critical role in the reconciliation of tax rolls, payroll data entry, and the verification of revenue receipts before they are finalized in the city's ledger systems.

Operational Responsibilities

• Tax Roll Maintenance: verifying updates to property tax records, including ownership changes and assessment adjustments.
• Payroll Verification: ensuring the accuracy of employee compensation data for the city's municipal workforce.
• Revenue Reporting: consolidating data from various collection points to produce accurate financial reports for the Director of Finance.

Facility Information

This office is housed in the 828 Broad Street building, which also hosts the Newark Board of Education and other administrative functions. Unlike the main tax collector windows, this unit is primarily a back-office operation focused on internal data processing. Inquiries regarding specific tax bill discrepancies should generally be directed to the Customer Service division, though Data Control may be involved in resolving complex record errors.
