Holy crap that's a lot of house for $275k compared to what you get over here.

So, you think Buffet's average employee pays $26k in property tax every year?
And of course he pays a lower percentage (but a lot more in raw dollars), he's paying a totally different tax than his employees. That's just how the system works.
When I was looking at houses in various areas of central NJ the taxes were always in the vicinity of 1.5-2%. Also, most households qualify for a homestead tax credit of ~$1000.
Our total tax burden is higher than average because we subsidize all of the red states where people bitch and moan about welfare without realizing that they benefit from it.

LOLThanks New Jersey!
Dumb is as dumb does.<smarmy tax-leeching commie>If you don't like it, move.</smarmy tax-leeching commie>
But srsly, the only way money-hungry politicians are going to learn a lesson about over-taxation and over-spending is if those getting fucked move to a less wallet-fucking state.
people are, in fact, leaving.story doesn't add up.
if true, everyone leaves, no taxes...problem solved.
fwiw - a little research shows that the house was built and sold in 2006 for $600k. It's a foreclosure and the current appraised value is $400k(which is what was used to calculate the property tax). Property taxes in Lawnside(pop of <3k) is an outstanding $4.484 per $100

other people stay and suck it up because of family, friends, work, etc.
I can't find it on google, but I could have sworn I read somewhere that Jersey was one of the top states in terms of people going to college out of state and not coming back.
Twas nice being a clueless kid... those were the days.
Are you flipping kidding me? Sheesh!
Our 3-bedroom, ~1900 sq ft house is worth $174k and we pay just $1,800 in property taxes.
Remind me to never move up north D:

Admittedly New Jersey is at the bottom of this list at $0.61 received per $1.00 paid, but Nevada is only four cents higher despite having one of the lowest tax burdens in the nation. Over-generalization is overly general.
