I got a letter from an attorney who wants to reduce my taxes.
It states that JC 2023 Common Level Ratio is 76.79%. Is this number accurate? Those who don't know, the ratio is used to bamboozle tax payers. They assume that your property is certain % or the last assesed value by chabging this number. For example my Jr SQ property was assed at $391.5K. Using this ratio the city is assuming it is worth $509.8K. Recent sales show market value to be around 425K.

He wants to do a tax appeal by charging 50% on the 1st year's tax savings if succesful. Is this something I can do easily myself?

It has been a long time since I have had to list a rental. Since then I left Facebook, where I used to advertise.

What are good sites to post ads on these days? Craigslist is kind of dead.

Re: Property Taxes

I don't disagree with you but there is one thing people forget. While the school board is elected, those are VOLUNTEERS.
Nothing against anyone who runs for the Board of Ed, but none of them are qualified professionally to review and approve a budget of close to $1 billion. Not that many people in the universe are qualified to do that.
I don't have any answers, but it's the system that is fundamentally broken. I think for the most part those people are well intentioned, just way, way out of their depth.

I could never live in Bergen County. I would not feel comfortable. I would sooner go to Monmouth County. In fact, I would sooner live under the Clay Street Bridge in Newark in a cardboard box than Hackensack, NJ. There I said it.

Re: Proposed School Budget Nears One Billion and Portends Big Tax Hike
Not too shy to talk
Not too shy to talk


So this bill is tacking on 1/2 of the total school increase and all of the city increase for the year (as even though they just set the budget, it's for the calendar year 2022, so we're retroactively paying it all, since Q1-Q3 didn't include the increase). When I look online, I do see Q1 & Q2 2023 already and it's higher than Q1 & Q2 2022 (due to the increase) but not as high as this current bill. Of course, this all could (and probably will) happen again next year (Q3 & Q4 much higher). The city does not make this clear and I'm sure people are going to argue with me about it, but just call the tax office and they will explain in.

I have not received the physical billing in the mail yet but have been checking my tax account online about once a week since Q4 taxes are usually due Nov 1st. Checked last night/early in the morning Wednesday and my jaw dropped. I came here to see if anyone posted an update/rebuttal to this thread, specifically rscott. This is my tax record on a 2BR apartment in the Journal Square area. 2022 Q4 is almost double the amount from 2021 Q4. Absolutely unbelievable!!!

What does Jersey City have that you would consider paying that exorbitant fee?

So short answer no damn reason to stay, I am out. Renting my 1br to some Facebook tech kid for 3k to cover this crazy tax and fees.


Hope your Facebook tech kid does not lose his job with Meta job cuts.

THis tax bill is coming in at a very bad time. Due to Fed hikes and 7%+ 30 year mortgage rates the real estate sales are slow as well if you wanted to sell the place.

I say vote all of these incompetent people out of city hall who voted yes on the budget. Vote them out at County level as well. I say renters have a stake in this too. As a landlord I passed down the tax increase to my tenant and blamed city hall showing all the data.

If the state is cutting fuding for schools then increase the payroll tax on those who work in JC and live in the suburbs.

I know I am not going to vote for any of these people at JC Board of Ed in 2 weeks and I suggest you all do the same! THese politicians and School board need to know they need to figure out a solution and don't put the blame some where else last minute and pass a highly inflated budget.

come to fort lee, buy a turnkey townhouse for 800k, or a 2br/2ba apt for 300-400k, many direct buses to 42nd st, and it's not in the middle of nowhere suburbs either.

At current rate, i will be paying $17,000 / year in property tax for a 1br condo. I imagine the newer fancier condos will be hitting $20k / year for 1 br in property tax. It's god damn insane, especially considering how shtty the schools.
