Calculating Property taxes
Property tax is the tax levied based on the assessed value of all real estate within a community with the exception of those properties used for religious, educational or charitable purposes and for veterans who are 100% permanently disabled due to wartime service. The “ratable base” is the assessed valuation of the community’s residential, commercial, industrial and farmland properties. The tax rate and your individual tax burden are determined by the following formulas:
Levy (Budgets for the County, Schools, Local, Fire Districts) - (minus) State Aid
Value of the ratable base of the Community
= Tax Rate
Assessed value/(divided by) 100* (times) Tax Rate = Tax Burden
NJ Income Tax Exemption For Veterans
Beginning with the 2017 tax year, NJ veterans who were honorably discharged or released under honorable circumstances may claim a $3,000 state income deduction that will reduce their NJ income tax. The following link will take you to the state website and provide full information, including how you can register for it now which will speed up your state return when you file: State Website
Please visit the Assessor’s office if you have questions about your assessment or if you wish to apply for property tax deductions or exemptions.
