The latest property tax figures are out for the state of New Jersey, and some of the numbers are staggering. The average homeowner faced a 4.1% increase in 2010 over 2009, the highest increase since 2007. The most staggering numbers in the report had to be the list of highest average propert taxes.
Tavistock, a small community in Camden County topped the list at $20,565 a year followed closely by Loch Arbor Village in Monmouth County at $19.904.
These numbers are unbelievable, including the average for the state which is $7,576, no wonder so many people are looking to leave this great state. They have too! I may be the biggest booster of New Jersey around, but even I might be forced out if this isn't fixed.
Let's hope things do get fixed and I can raise my son in a state where you are only a short drive fom the beach, the mountains, and New York City. What other state can say that? Just JERZEEBABY!
Yes I pay a little over $10,000 coming from Hillside,NJ. Yikes!! That's why the auto racing race tracks are difficult to stay open. It's hard to support sports that you love , along with family matters, etc. I'm sure the local businesses are also hurting as people are holding back from spending.
