General rate or effective rate?

The general tax rate is what your bill uses. Multiply it by your assessed value, then divide by 100.

The effective rate is published by the state to compare places fairly, because assessments sit at different shares of market value. Use it to compare places, not to work out a bill.

How property tax works in New Jersey

Each town's assessor sets the assessed value of your property. The state publishes the general tax rate each year after county, school and municipal budgets are certified. Your bill is the assessed value times the general rate, less any deductions or credits you qualify for.

If you think your assessment is too high, the deadline to appeal is set by state law and depends on your town. The state page for appeals and your county board of taxation have the dates that apply to you.
