How are property taxes calculated in Burlington County?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Burlington County property taxes are calculated using the same formula as the rest of New Jersey: your property's assessed value multiplied by the municipal tax rate. Each town in Burlington County sets its own tax rate based on its budget needs for schools, municipal services, and county taxes. The county average effective tax rate is around 2.0 percent of assessed value, slightly below the state average.
Why It Matters
Understanding how your specific town calculates taxes helps you identify whether your assessment is accurate and whether an appeal could save you money.
