New Jerseys infamously high property tax bills topped $8,500 per home in 2016, a 2.35 percent increase over the previous year, according to figures released Wednesday by the Department of Community Affairs.
Property owners paid $8,549 $196 more than they did in 2015 when the average tax bill rose about 2.2 percent, according to the analysis.
The average residential bill has risen from $8,161 in 2014 to $8,353 in 2015 to $8,549 in 2016.
Each year, the average bill set a new high bar for what Garden State property owners pay. [

Gov. Chris Christies spokesman Brian Murray said the increases would have been even higher had the Republican governor not instituted a 2 percent cap that took effect in 2011.

Not Christie’s fault... 90% NJ dems for illegals, welfare, sanctuary cities, etc.

Well,
this article lists Newark, Jersey City, East Orange, Maplewood (that surprised me), Princeton, and a number of others. (Would not surprise me if towns like Elizabeth, Camden and Trenton would be, but I don't know for sure.)

Holy hell. I have a house on 6.5 acres in MA and I’m not paying anything close to that.

$8500 would pay the property taxes on my main home and my winter home and still leave us with enough to take a vacation to Hawaii or Europe. And I don't have run down shacks either. My main home is in a gated community and my winter home is in one of the more desirable neighborhoods.

Yes, but the RATs here in CA continue to try and figure out a way around Prop 13.
