What will your
property tax bill be?
Find your home on the county tax list, or type in an assessed value, to see an estimated bill and how it splits between the city, the Board of Education and Hudson County. Only the city's share is set by the municipal budget.
Find your property
Look up your property to load its assessed value from the county tax list, or enter one yourself (the figure on your assessment notice, not what the home would sell for). Assessments in Jersey City lag market prices considerably.
The overall rate is derived from the city's published average bill. City, school and county components use their issuing bodies' rates; other is the remainder needed to reconcile the total. This is an estimate, not a certified property-specific bill, and excludes deductions, exemptions and abatements.
Understand what is on the bill
A Jersey City bill funds three bodies that each set their own rate. These pages show where each part comes from and how it compares.
