Has anyone heard that any tax increase from the reval would be stepped in over 5 yrs? I was told this the other day but can't find info on it.

Fair Haven is quite close to NYC ferries, and it's a lot more relaxing than auto/bus/train commuting. I would imagine most living there who work in NYC can afford the higher cost.

Of course I anticipate someone telling me to move to Fair Haven if I wanted lower real estate taxes. However, I do think it's a worthwhile metric.

yes, i just love fair haven's proximity to manhattan and their quick access to manhattan!


Grew up in Fair Haven. My Dad's commute to Manhattan was hellish. The commuter trains were horrible back then (1970s, bankrupt Central Railroad). He just ended up driving... Then his car while parked in Manhattan got stolen.

Those taxes were based off the old house before they tore it down. The most recent property card was at $16k, a 23% increase from the 13k. That was before it sold for 1.7M. That house will eventually be up to the high 20's.

Not sure what point you are trying to make... there's only two ways we can get lower taxes in JC:
- double real estate across the city, thereby doubling property tax revenue, while somehow maintaining the city budget at the same level as now
- find ways to slash the city budget (start with all the graft and corruption, of course)

You can't compare our city with another one without taking into consideration all aspects: what's in the city budget, what's total revenue in property taxes, how many residents live in each city, what services is the city providing.

In a very well to do town, public assistance may be near zero, which I'm sure it's a large chunk of our budget (the city provides grants for social programs and such, along with other subsidies such as public housing). Also, I think our large geographical size works against us: lots of roads and infrastructure to maintain. Some NJ towns are tiny, with much lower vehicular traffic, which I'm sure results in a lot less money spent on road maintenance. Also, and perhaps most significant, are the police and fire department budgets: in between pensions, salaries and all other operational costs, those are two huge budget items.

Now, imagine what would happen to our taxes if we were some day required to fund a larger share of our school budget. :o

Here's the webpage for the building with details...

$3.595 million for a property with annual revenue of $131,000?? Plus, I'm pretty sure their yearly financial pro forma is wrong for not including maintenance, reserves and a vacancy allowance. Insurance also seems low for a four-family investment.
are rents that highn in dtjc? $2,750 per month per apt seems like a lot to me, but maybe i'm behind the times


$2,750/month sounds very low to me for a floor-through apartment in DTJC, particularly considering they have a few amenities like a deck, and laundry facilities right in the basement. People are now paying 2.5K for 1bd/1ba in new construction, and 3.5k for 2bd/1ba. If you can find a 3bd in new construction, you will pay north of 4K, with some places getting close to 5K. That's the DTJC real estate market...! :o

I do think a positive, unintended consequence will be that it will finally get the owners of a lot of vacant lots that dot Downtown to stop waiting around for a super lucrative offer and finally sell. I also think a lot of the slumlords will find their properties too expensive to carry and may force out some of the remaining riff raff.

I must say I am looking forward with fascination to seeing what the citys appraisers do about the commercial properties that are valued by income. That property we're discussing shows how ridiculous a disparity there is between comps and cap rates. Ignoramuses like Yvonne have complained about this before, that houses are valued more than commercial, and now it's going to be on steroids.

I forgot about FHA. I did two 203k loans and they were an experience I would rather forget.

Rent played almost no role in the conventional loans I did years back, which meant I had rather tiny mortgages (and lots of capital stranded in the property). BCB bank was the only one willing to do a mortgage based on rent and improved value. They were also the only bank that gave me a reasonable construction loan.

Other than 203k loans, I financed the bulk of the construction work on credit cards (again.. something I would rather forget).

1 to 4 units is generally considered 'residential' and rents don't count. Pre housing bubble days, I had an issue getting mortgages in part because the comp sales around me were so low. The comparison were useless because they were non-renovated buildings. My rent receivable were 100% to 150% higher, but since I was 'residential' rental income didn't count towards the appraised value.

totally agree. Simple math is not fear mongering. RE brokers really should do the right thing and disclose the probability that many homes will see significant tax increases. I'm not holding my breath...

I really think the test for DTJC RE is psychological. It was one thing when you could get a single family rowhouse for $1mm and change and pay 12K in taxes. It's a whole different ballgame when you are paying $2mm+ and 40K in RE taxes. All of sudden the so-so services, weak public schools, PATH crowding, etc don't seem like such a good value for the RE taxes being paid. Put another way - will people pay Summit, NJ taxes and accept inner city service levels.

Time will tell...

The property you mention is paying 0.6% in property taxes, assuming it sells at the asking price. Even if it was to sell at 2.5, they would be paying 0.8%... another property that can expect their tax bill to more than double in 2018.

Almost ever single non-abated 07302 property currently listed in Zillow with a value exceeding 600K is paying property taxes of around 1% (some slightly lower, others slight higher). The ones valued at 1 MM or higher are often paying comically low taxes (there is one listed at 1.2 MM paying a smidgen over 5K!) Yet, some people here are saying that predicting dramatically higher tax bills for those properties is fear mongering... I suppose sticking your head in the sand is less scary than acknowledging the truth.

Back in sane days a well priced rental would go for 100x monthly rent, that would make this worth $1.1m. But sane days are past. For an investor loan a bank would never do it, the numbers are crazy, that's a GRM of 27.5!

No, I'm stating the effective tax rate (how I and most people define "high" vs 'Low") for JC is average for North Jersey and the Metropolitan Area with the exception of NYC with it's subsidized taxes. If you want to state a different measure that's fine, but define it rather than just saying "the taxes are too damn high!"

Dan, to base an argument about taxes on the notion that all the properties would have been built anyway is quite a big assumption. It's an accusation that the entire abatement program is corrupt top to bottom, beginning to no end in sight. I doubt that's true, though certainly the most recent DT abatements are unnecessary. But something like the NJCU project sounds like what the program was meant for, development in a "blighted area".

You see, this is the evasion and doubling down that makes you look like an idiot. I'm certain the county administrator did not tell you that JC's taxes are "high". "High" is a relative term, you do know what that means Ms Former Teacher? I believe it's covered on Sesame Street. The answer you are unwilling to address is what is our taxes are "high" relative to. When I say they're not high for our area, you burble, say nonsense, repeat yourself at the first opportunity, and then wonder why people think you're disingenuous and/or a fool.

Wrong on so many levels Brewster. So you are stating that taxes are low due to the market value of your area based on your income ?

It's hard to compute the net change in taxes due to PILOTing, but assuming that these buildings would be built anyway even if they had to pay normal taxes, my guess is that on the net, JC's PILOTed properties increase taxes for everyone else in Jersey City and certainly increase taxes for people living in other towns in Hudson County.

It truly appears she lacks the wits to understand these issues, and when called out always doubles down like her man tRump.

I think it's fair to say that abatements lower your municipal taxes and raise your school taxes and county taxes, although the increase in school and county taxes is a missed offset opportunity, and not a true, net increase.

JC structures PILOT agreements so that the municipality gets more money than it would from regular taxation. For instance, instead of getting 50% of a $1 million all-in tax bill, it gets 95% of $750k PILOT payment.

PILOTed buildings don't give the schools any money at all and pay county fees at a significantly reduced rate.

If JC's PILOTed buildings paid normal taxes, they would offset the overall school levy and by a small but palpable amount for county taxes.

Since a third of JC is PILOTed (by far the state's highest total), the effect on school taxes is very significant.

My estimate is that JC's PILOTed buildings would have an Equalized Valuation of about $10-11 billion 2017. Hudson County's total Equalized Valuation is $71 billion.

Jersey City's PILOTed buildings are thus 15% of Hudson County's total. They do pay some money to the county, but 15% is a palpable impact even on the county's tax levy for the owners of non-PILOTed buildings.

It's hard to compute the net change in taxes due to PILOTing, but assuming that these buildings would be built anyway even if they had to pay normal taxes, my guess is that on the net, JC's PILOTed properties increase taxes for everyone else in Jersey City and certainly increase taxes for people living in other towns in Hudson County.

Steve Sweeney is actually trying to reform the PILOT law. It's part of his state aid reform package, although he's not spoken in public (AFAIK) about what changes he wants to happen with PILOTs.

It truly appears she lacks the wits to understand these issues, and when called out always doubles down like her man tRump.

Yeah, that's it. I'm stupid, but not as.... Maybe you can follow better than I.

She writes about County taxes when the thread is about reevaluating the City tax base. The city reval will not change +/- the amount the city collects for the county in the form of county taxes.

She also mentions churches and schools not being taxed. Why would a school be taxed when it is supported by local taxes?

"not taxed" != "abatement"

"Abatement is a reduction in the level of taxation faced by an individual or company. Examples of an abatement include a tax decrease, a reduction in penalties or a rebate. If an individual or business overpays its taxes or receives a tax bill that is too high, it can request an abatement from the tax authorities."

Ralph, you are ignoring the fact that the county does not include tax abated property, or pilots in the formula when the county strikes the budget. If they did then the ratable base would be high and our tax bill would be much lower. I don't make this up, I do call the people who work on our budget in the county.



You're not very smart, yeah?
