Jersey City finalized its property tax rate in October 2022 and set the rate at 2.118%, which represents a 32% increase over 2021. The increase is driven mainly from the Board of Education’s $973 million budget, a $159 million increase from the prior year budget. Meanwhile, the city’s $724.8 million budget was adopted in October and reflects a $104 million increase over the prior year.
