13 New Jersey Counties Among Nation’s Worst For Property Taxes
According to a report from the non-partisan Tax Foundation - which earlier this year found New Jersey to be the overall worst state in the country for taxes – 13 state counties rank among the nation’s Top 20 worst for property taxes.
The counties on the list (based on median taxes paid) include:
3 Hunterdon New Jersey 7,708
4 Bergen New Jersey 7,370
5 Somerset New Jersey 7,201
6 Essex New Jersey 7,149
8 Morris New Jersey 6,977
9 Union New Jersey 6,727
10 Passaic New Jersey 6,673
13 Monmouth New Jersey 6,360
14 Hudson New Jersey 5,865
17 Sussex New Jersey 5,677
18 Middlesex New Jersey 5,575
19 Mercer New Jersey 5,457
20 Warren New Jersey 5,228
All these taxes yet Governor Corzine and the Democrats in Trenton still find themselves with an ever-growing budget gap. Quite simply, our state government has spent us into oblivion and NJ taxpayers can’t afford it anymore.
