NEW JERSEY – A new study ranked New Jersey as the state with the highest real-estate property taxes.
WalletHub released their 2020 Property Taxes by State on Tuesday.
Each year, the average American household spends $2,375 on real-estate property taxes plus another $441 for residents of the 27 states with vehicle property taxes. With such high costs, it’s no surprise that more than $14 billion in property taxes go unpaid each year, according to the National Tax Lien Association.
Property Taxes in New Jersey (1st=Lowest; 25th=Avg.):
- Real-Estate Property Tax Rank: 51st
- Vehicle Property Tax Rank: 1st
- Real-Estate Tax on Median State Home Value: $8,104
- Real-Estate Tax on Median U.S. Home Value: $5,064
- Vehicle Property Tax on Best-Selling Car: $0.00
