State Releases Average Tax Bills For Monmouth County Towns

MONMOUTH COUNTY – On Wednesday of this week, the Murphy administration released the calendar year 2019 property tax data for all of New Jersey's 565 municipalities. The new release shows the average tax bill for every Monmouth County town in 2019.

Patch ranked the average tax bill for all Middlesex County towns, from highest to lowest (see below). Which towns in Monmouth County paid the most in property taxes last year?

That would be Rumson, with its plethora of multi-million-dollar mansions, followed by Deal and then Fair Haven.

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.
