What this means for you

    Full report

    The questions people type in on the way here — every one answered from the official record:

    “How much is the property tax on this house?” “What is my home assessed at?” “How much did I pay in property taxes last year?” “Is this tax bill high for the town?” “What did the house last sell for?”

    Type the address above — the answers come straight from the state tax list.

    How a New Jersey property tax bill is calculated

    The two-minute version

    Every NJ tax bill is the same simple math: the assessed value of the property times the town’s general tax rate, per $100 of assessment. A house assessed at $400,000 in a town with a $3.50 rate pays about $14,000 a year. The rate is certified each year by the county board of taxation, and most of it isn’t the town’s to keep — the school district takes the largest share, then the county, then municipal services, with fire districts, libraries and open-space levies added in some towns.

    The part that surprises people: assessed value is not market value. Between revaluations, a town’s assessments drift below what homes actually sell for, and the state tracks that gap as an equalization ratio. That’s why a $517,000 assessment can belong to a house that would sell for far more — and why comparing your assessment to a neighbor’s asking price proves nothing by itself. What matters in an appeal is your assessment measured against real sales, adjusted by that ratio.

    What to do with these numbers

    Budget it, question it, or shrink it

    Budget it

    Four quarterly payments

    NJ property taxes are due February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1, and most towns allow a 10-day grace period. If you pay through a mortgage escrow, the lender handles it — but the bill still belongs to you, and escrow shortfalls show up as a bigger monthly payment the following year.

    Question it

    Appeals are due April 1

    If the assessment looks high against what similar homes actually sold for, you can appeal to the county board of taxation by April 1 (later where a town-wide revaluation just happened). You’re appealing the assessed value, never the rate — and comparable sales are the evidence that wins.

    Shrink it

    Rebates most people forget

    The ANCHOR rebate, the Senior Freeze reimbursement, and the $250 senior/disabled and veteran deductions all cut the effective bill. They aren’t automatic — each has its own application through the NJ Division of Taxation, and unclaimed rebates are simply lost.

    How this lookup works

    Type an address and pick the suggestion. The page matches it to the NJ tax parcel and reads the state’s MOD-IV tax list — the same records your assessor files — for the assessed land, improvement and total values, the property class, and the most recent recorded sale with its deed book and page. It then applies the town’s certified tax rate from the NJ Department of Community Affairs tables to estimate the annual and quarterly bill, and compares it to the town, county and state averages so a number like “19% below the township average” has context. The deed link goes to the county register’s own search. It’s the same answer you’d get from an NJ property tax records search at the county level — Bergen, Hudson, Essex, Monmouth or any other county — without the login. Recorded figures only — nothing here is a computed estimate or a guess.
