• Inside look at the multiple reasons for tax hike in this Bergen town (northjersey.com) — Elmwood Park homeowners are facing an 18% property tax increase this year, driven largely by rising employee health benefits and trash and recycling costs, alongside a borough-wide property revaluation. Local officials say they tried to limit the hike, but residents are seeing very different impacts on their bills, sparking questions about how assessments were calculated and whether the new values are consistent and fair.
