Tax Comparison by Area

The Tax Ratables document linked below allows you to compare property taxes for all areas in Bergen County. There's more to it than meets the eye, however. The tax rate alone doesn't tell you the whole story. In one area a home's assessed value might be exactly the same as its market value, while in another area the assessed value may be 75% of the market value. So in order to compare one area against another, you have to take the Equalization ratio into account. Simply multiply the Tax Rate by the Equalization Ratio to get the Effective Tax Rate for any area in Bergen County.
