it’s not 30k per year. I can’t afford living here if it’s 30k for 1B. It’s 12k but might be increasing again this year.

I feel you. I value education too but the results are so poor after this much spending. Demanding accountability and transparency on how the money is spent is a very fair ask.

yea they don’t get the point and even begin to claim I live in luxury housing lmao. Luxury buildings have tax abatements and pay lower tax than I do.

What’s the point you are making? The place you linked here is a 3M condo over 1000 sqft in nyc, yet its property tax is about 30k a year. That actually shows the ny property tax is lower than nj, because if you look at the same price of property in nj, the tax will be more than doubled more so around 60k

lol my building is by no means luxury. Don’t make false assumptions. the price got inflated during Covid. If you enjoy higher property tax, good for you and I’m sure you’ll be happy as you see tax keeps increasing in the next few years.

I’m saying it’s not reasonable to apply the same rate to JC because JC’s property value is already high. You think 30k property tax would be fair for a 1B condo?

yea it baffles me how much power the JCBOE has and their complete lack of accountability.

Also just for context, JC sent me a 6k tax bill for Q4 alone (yep just Q4) last year and I’m paying about 12,000 in property tax for just a 1 bed condo, and it’s increasing again. You think this amount is “how low they were in JC” ???

lol if I leave JC due to tax, why would I choose to live elsewhere in NJ? I would just leave NJ.
Also it’s not a good comparison, because the property value of JC is already high. If you apply a 5% tax rate like some of the rest counties to JC, that would be about 30k of tax per year.

Hoping so too, but JC BOE is a different beast so never underestimate how much $$$$ they want
