State Releases Average Tax Bill For Camden County Towns

CAMDEN COUNTY, NJ — The Murphy administration released the calendar year 2019 property tax data for New Jersey's municipalities on Wednesday. The new release shows the average tax bill for every Camden County town.

Patch ranked the average tax bill for all Camden County towns, from highest to lowest (see below). Tavistock had the highest average tax bill: $29,890.

The majority of municipalities in the state had average residential property tax decreases or increases under two percent, according to state officials.

"We're delivering on our promise to provide property tax stability while restoring New Jersey's fiscal standing and growing our economy," said Gov. Phil Murphy. "Statewide property values have grown more in the first two years of my administration than at any point since the Great Recession. That's what we call progress."

The administration says it is allocating hundreds of millions of dollars of constitutionally-dedicated taxpayer funds for more school aid, lowering the cost of health care for public employees, supporting more shared services between local governments, and more fully securing the long-term stability of New Jersey's pension system.
