Property tax questions
- Which Bergen County towns have the lowest property taxes?
- Measured as a share of market value: Alpine (0.614%), Saddle River (0.735%), Ho-Ho-Kus (0.823%). The highest: Ridgefield Park (2.201%), Hackensack (2.051%), Midland Park (1.925%). From the 2026 MOD-IV tax list and recorded sale prices.
- How are property taxes calculated in New Jersey?
- The town's assessor sets an assessed value for each property, and the bill is that value times the general tax rate (municipal, school and county levies combined). Because towns assess at different shares of market value, the effective rate, tax divided by market value, is the fair way to compare towns.
For each town’s 2025 average bill and the change from 2024, see Bergen County property taxes by town. To add the tax to a monthly payment, use the mortgage calculator; selling, the NJ seller closing costs calculator.
