CINNAMINSON, NJ — The average Cinnaminson homeowner's property tax bill increased 3.6 percent over the prior year, according to the latest state data.

The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs recently released 2025 tax tables that break down property taxes for every city and town in the state. Figures from past years are also available.

Here's how much property taxes changed for each entity from 2024-25:

According to some experts, a high tax rate isn't necessarily a bad thing. It can depend on the quality of services provided with that money.

"If you are comparing two cities and deciding which to live in, you might use property taxes as a factor," says an article in The Currency. "However, in addition to comparing the property tax rates, it’s also worth comparing the quality of the services the local government provides. There could be reasons why property taxes are higher in one area than in another."

But the rising cost of living had made it difficult for more residents to pay their bills. Property-tax delinquency in the United States ticked up to 5.1 percent last year — up from 4.5 percent in 2024 and an all-time low of 4.3 percent in 2019, according to research from Cotality.

Property taxes have risen by 27 percent during that six-year period.

"Many homebuyers assume that securing a mortgage means locking in stable monthly payments for the long term," Molly Boesel, senior principal economist at Cotality, said in a news release. "However, rising home values often lead to higher property taxes, and over the past six years, this has become a reality for many homeowners."

New Jersey's average property tax bill was $10,570 last year — a $475 increase from the prior year.
