Egg Harbor consists of both the Village of Egg Harbor and the Township of Egg Harbor. The Township of Egg Harbor was established in 1855. The Village was settled by Jacob and Levi Thorp. It is said the mythical name to be attributed to an egg tossing battle between two schooner crews after a race to see who could land in the harbor first. Winners tossed eggs at the losers. South of Egg Harbor is Carlsville (an unincorporated community that is part of the Township of Egg Harbor). Carlsville is so named because of four men, all named Carl, were its first settlers. 2008 Tax Rates: Township of Egg Harbor, Gibraltar School District - Net Tax Rate $9.155430/1,000, Assessment Ratio is 80.75%

Insurance >Home Warranties
You have just found a new home that you love and are planning to place your current home on the market. When the day arrives for your first open house, you begin to think of all of the things that could break down or go wrong. The air conditioner may stop working or your trusty old dishwasher might "bite the dust" the morning that the structural inspection is scheduled. Purchasing home warranty protection is one way to reduce these worries for you and your buyer.
The most popular warranty plans cover the home from the time it is listed until one year after the closing date. Although the details of these policies vary, there is usually a standard deductible of $35 to $100 (this amount differs from state to state). Many sellers purchase these warranties to make their property more attractive to potential buyers and to limit their liability in the event that a problem is discovered after the closing.
