property taxes

Lower property taxes do exist in New Jersey, but at what price?

Comptroller's report says laws limiting sick leave payouts aren't being followed. The Division of Local Government Services says it has no jurisdiction on that.

Nearly every town surveyed by the state comptroller’s office is making excessive payments for unused sick leave, despite state laws to the contrary.

The size of the promised property tax credits more than doubled, from $700 to $1,500, for homeowners with incomes under $150,000.

Two-thirds of New Jerseyans said they would be willing to make an offer within three days of viewing a home, with 23% saying they would not have a problem making an offer immediately.

Forty-one percent say they've considered fleeing the Garden State over the past year.

Though lawmakers have expressed interest in restoring aid to municipalities that is diverted to the state, that's not in Gov. Phil Murphy's budget plan.

Gov. Phil Murphy proposes property tax rebates starting at $700 and growing to $1,150, including homes with incomes of up to $250,000. Renters get help, too.

The funding formula was approved in 2008 and upheld by the courts, though it was only followed for a year. A task force could examine it for updates.
