NEW JERSEY IS #1!

The Tax Foundation has updated the popular property taxes on owner-occupied housing tables by state and county for 2006.

Seven (7) of the Top 10 counties in median real estate taxes paid for 2006 are in New Jersey; the other 3 are in New York. Hunterdon County in NJ is #1 with median real estate taxes paid of $7,999.00. The national median in 2006 was $1,742.00.

Hudson County, my home base, did not make the Top 10 – it came in at #14 with median taxes of $5,887.00.

New Jersey tops the list of “Property Taxes on Owner Occupied Housing by State” for 2006. The average realty tax on NJ owner-occupied property for 2006 was $5,773.00.

Tell us something we don’t know!
