I love New Jersey but I don’t particularly love our Property Taxes as compared with other states new jersey property tax is relatively high.  Actually they are about as high as New York, however, what really troubles me is the fact that due to an exemption for people who live outside of the city having to pay no tax at all on their New Jersey properties,  the burden falls on those of us who actually live in the city.  And I don’t know about anyone else but this strikes me as being extremely unfair as it means that landlords can own dozens of properties in the city but since their residence is outside of the city they don’t have to pay a penny in property tax.
