Living in New Jersey is accompanied by several pain points, but one that consistently stands out is how much we pay in property taxes.
The nonprofit, nonpartisan Tax Foundation research organization said it well in one of its property tax studies published last year.
"Some states with high property taxes, like New Hampshire and Texas, rely heavily on them in lieu of other major tax categories," the study by the nonprofit Tax Foundation stated. "Other states, like New Jersey and Illinois, impose high property taxes alongside high rates in the other major tax categories."
The study found that a ranking of 2023 effective property tax rates for the nation's counties put Camden County, New Jersey in No. 2, Salem County, New Jersey in No. 3 and Gloucester County, New Jersey in No. 6. The highest-cost county was Menominee in Wisconsin.
In January, the NJ Department of Community affairs released the list of average 2025 property tax bills for municipalities across New Jersey.
For all of New Jersey, the average property tax bill in 2025 was $10,570, based on an average residential property value of $405,153.
Where did that money go? The state reported that 52% when to schools, 30% to municipalities and 18% to county governments.
But statewide averages wash out what property taxes mean to your budget.
