Reply to comment by MrFrode in New Jersey’s notorious property-tax bills went up once again last year, growing on average by more than $200 or more than 2%, according to the latest data from the state; the increase pushed the average New Jersey property-tax bill to a record-high $9,490 in 2022 by rollotomasi07071

I am sure not all people will not want their schools merged with their neighboring towns. People paid a premium to buy homes with good schools and probably don’t mind paying extra in property taxes to continue that benefit.

it depends. i live in bedminster. the school here is great, but we could just as easily be part of somerset hills regional and still have our actual school and have our kids go to bernards hs in the normal way and not on a send-receive which costs more money.

Good for you, but half the state would not get that deal, they might merge with the crap district

property taxes are the cover charge for what gets in and what stays out

sorry, not sorry
