County boundaries are available as a hosted feature layer on ArcGIS Online, as a hosted Esri REST service, and as a zipped shapefile download and a zipped file geodatabase download from NJGIN Open Data. High-demand applications should use the ArcGIS Online hosted feature layer, or one of the download options: search for Municipal Boundaries of NJ, Hosted, 3424 on NJGIN Open Data. NJOGIS also hosts the data as a multi-layer Esri REST service at https://maps.nj.gov/arcgis/rest/services/Framework/Government_Boundaries/MapServer/1, for low-demand uses of georeferenced map image and query.
The data also are available in Web Mercator projection.
Users who require data that preserves true curves where applicable, should contact the distributor directly.

Counties were originally aggregated from the NJOGIS Municipalities of New Jersey data set using the DISSOLVE command.
All 21 counties in New Jersey are included.
The ACRES and SQ_MILES fields were recalculated based on SHAPE_AREA. In addition, POPDEN2020, POPDEN2010, POPDEN2000, POPDEN1990, and POPDEN1980 were recalculated based on the updated number of square miles in the SQ_MILES field. Attributes for Geographical Naming Information System (GNIS) codes and names were thoroughly reviewed in collaboration with Bureau of Geographic Names - US Geological Survey and US Census Bureau representatives. No formal accuracy testing was performed to qualify or validate attribute data. All other attribute information was carried over from the previous NJDEP county boundaries layer.
Horizontal positional accuracy used to generate county boundaries varies by source data used to create the NJOGIS Municipal Boundaries of New Jersey, from which county boundaries were originally aggregated. No formal horizontal positional accuracy testing was performed to qualify or validate these data. Data were visually inspected.

Data delineated to represent the centerline of the Delaware River were developed for the project. An inventory of Delaware River islands with state jurisdiction was developed from information in "The Story Of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries 1606 - 1968" by John F. Snyder, Bureau of Geology and Topography, Trenton, New Jersey, 1969. Using this information, a delineation was generated to represent the centerline of the Delaware River from the New Jersey/New York border to the 12 mile circle at the New Jersey/Delaware border. The delineation of the centerline of the Delaware River was generated by manually digitizing the river's visible shorelines, interpreted from NJ Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS) 2002 orthophotography (+/-4 feet). A centerline was generated from the shorelines utilizing the DUAL COLLAPSE command in ArcGIS ArcInfo 9.2. Using the automated centerline as a guide, the final delineation was manually digitized to provide a smoother, more visually suitable centerline. The centerline of the Delaware River represents the boundary between New Jersey and Pennsylvania. These data were used to represent municipal boundaries coincident with the river centerline as shown on municipal tax maps.

A null value polygon sliver measuring approximately 0.5 square feet was removed from Burlington County. It is assumed this data artifact developed during processing the municipalities data set, from which this data set was derived. Four null value polygon slivers measuring approximately 5 square feet were removed from Ocean County. It is assumed these data artifacts developed during use of the DISSOLVE command when converting the municipalities data set into counties. The data set was visually checked for possible additional slivers and none were found.

As a component of the NJ Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS) Parcels Normalization Project in 2008-2010, parcels boundaries were modified to match municipal, county and state boundaries data developed by NJOGIS in 2008 where those boundaries were coincident. During this process, modifications were made to the municipal, county and state boundaries data sets to improve spatial and temporal accuracy where research was necessary to resolve boundary conflicts, and in areas where higher quality data became available subsequent to the 2008 boundaries data release.

Attributes were added to the attribute table. The ACRES and SQ_MILES fields were recalculated based on SHAPE_AREA. In addition, POPDEN2000, POPDEN1990, and POPDEN1980 were recalculated based on the updated number of square miles in the SQ_MILES field. Attributes for Geographical Naming Information System (GNIS) codes and names were thoroughly reviewed in collaboration with GNIS-US Geological Survey and US Census Bureau representatives. No formal accuracy testing was performed to qualify or validate attribute data. All other attribute information was carried over from the most current NJDEP county boundaries (stco) data set and is assumed correct.

Supported by tax map documentation, a modification was made to the municipal and county boundary along the east shoreline of Osborne Pond between Bernards Township in Somerset County and Harding Township in Morris County. The modification was made by the NJ Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS) in consultation with both municipalities and counties. It was reported by the US Census Bureau to NJOGIS in July 2010 that the delineation in the statewide municipal boundaries dataset was inconsistent with the municipal boundary submitted by Harding Township as part of the the Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) program. It was subsequently determined that the cause for the incorrect statewide municipal boundaries delineation was an incorrect delineation of a parcel (Harding Township, Block 48.01 Lot 8) in the statewide composite of parcels data (for which the parcels data were used as source data for the municipal boundaries). The west boundary of the parcel is a segment of the municipal boundary along the east shoreline of Osborne Pond. The change to Block 48.01 Lot 8 necessitated a modification to four contiguous parcels (Harding Township, Block 48.01, Lots 4, 5, 7 and Block 52, Lot 2) in Harding Township along the east shoreline of Osborne Pond. Since the west boundaries of Block 48.01, Lots 4, 5, 7 and Block 52, Lot 2 are also segments of the municipal boundary, the municipal boundary was modified to match the change to the parcels. Two Bernards Township parcels (Block 804, Lot 17 and Block 1701, Lot 1) in the statewide composite of parcels data were also modified to be consistent with the change to the municipal boundary and Harding Township parcels.

An update to parcel boundaries in Marlboro Township in Monmouth County necessitated a change to the municipal boundary and the Monmouth/Middlesex County boundary. The change also affected the boundaries of the adjacent municipalities of Aberdeen and Manalapan Townships in Monmouth County, and Old Bridge Township in Middlesex County. The change was up to approximately 20 feet for Marlboro, Manalapan and Old Bridge Townships, and up to approximately 0.25 feet for Aberdeen Township.

An update was made to the Woodbridge Township municipal boundary which necessitated a change to the Middlesex County boundary. The municipal and county boundary along the Arthur Kill was represented to extend out to the middle of the river to coincide with the state boundary. However, the municipal and county boundary was changed to coincide with the shoreline, based on a preponderance of supporting information. The Woodbridge Township boundary is described as the shoreline in The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries 1606 - 1968. Tax maps indicate that riparian grants were conveyed to a Pierhead Line extending out to the middle of the Arthur Kill, which approximates the state boundary and is likely the source of any ambiguity regarding the municipal and county boundary. In addition, boundaries for all other municipalities in New Jersey along the Arthur Kill coincide with the shoreline.

The New Jersey Office of GIS (NJOGIS) worked in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) to create a coincident boundary between NJ/PA in the Delaware River. After examining both boundaries, both parties agreed to a process of generating a new boundary line. Using the most recent NJ Department of Environmental Protection's (NJDEP) Delaware River Shorelines feature class, cross-section lines, and the island inventory from the 18th century bi-state commission's annexation reports, NJOGIS generated a new boundary between NJ/PA. This new line was reviewed PennDOT, and any disagreements were approved by both states. County boundaries were adjusted to conform to state boundary.

The municipal boundary between Vernon Township and Hardyston Township in Sussex County and West Milford Township in Passaic County was updated based on a new digital tax map that was created for Vernon Township. The updated boundary between Vernon and West Milford also resolved a conflict between the older Vernon tax map and existing West Milford tax map. These municipal boundary changes resulted in a location adjustment between the Passaic County and Sussex County boundary.

The municipal boundary between Washington Township in Gloucester County and Gloucester Township in Camden County was revised in several locations. Boundary adjustments were made based on the delineation found on Gloucester County tax maps, with corroboration from Gloucester Township tax maps in Camden County. These municipal boundary changes also revised the county boundary between Camden County and Gloucester County.
The boundary revisions occurred along the following Tax Blocks: In Gloucester Township, the northern portion of Block 12301 and 12302, the western portion of Block 12304, and the southern portion of Block 13303. In Washington Township, the southern portion of Block 5 and 12, the eastern portion of Block 199.11, and the northern portion of Block 197.
ACRES and SQ_MILES field values were recalculated for Camden and Gloucester County based on SHAPE_AREA. Subsequently, all population density fields in both Counties were recalculated based on the updated SQ_MILES value.

The municipal boundary between North Bergen Township in Hudson County and Fairview Borough, Cliffside Park Borough, and Edgewater Borough in Bergen County was adjusted in several locations. Boundary delineations were made based on the certified tax maps of Hudson County, with corroboration from tax maps in Bergen County. These municipal boundary adjustments also revised the county boundary between Hudson County and Bergen County.
More specifically, the boundary between North Bergen and Fairview along Tax Block 501 in Fairview Borough was revised to follow the NJDEP stream centerline boundary. The southern boundary between Fairview Borough and North Bergen Township was revised to follow the delineation of the municipal boundary found on the North Bergen Township tax maps.
Additionally, the southern boundary of Cliffside Park Borough was adjusted to follow the delineation of the municipal boundary found on the North Bergen Township tax map. And the southern boundary of Edgewater Borough, to the intersection at Old River Road, was also adjusted to follow the delineation of the municipal boundary found on the North Bergen Township tax maps.
Finally, between River Road and the Hudson River, the boundary between Edgewater Borough and North Bergen Township was also adjusted to match the delineation of the municipal boundary found on the North Bergen Township tax maps.
ACRES and SQ_MILES field values were recalculated for Bergen and Hudson County based on the updated SHAPE_AREA from the revisions mentioned above. And all population density fields in both Counties were recalculated based on the updated SQ_MILES value.
