Look up a New Jersey property
The New Jersey property record, in one place
This site covers 3,208,033 parcels in 21 counties and 555 municipalities. A property page shows the assessment, the estimated tax, and the school, county, and municipal split. It also shows building permits from the state file, the FEMA flood zone and mapped flood elevation, and the high and low ground on the lot. The last sale and the deed date are on the record. Owner names are not shown.
Stafford Twp is the worked example. The 2026 general rate is 1.412, down from 2.623, because the town reassessed. The lower rate is not automatically a lower bill. The same page carries the town’s permit count, the typical house, and recent sales.

Same sale price, every town
A general rate by itself does not say which town’s tax is lower. The 2025 list applies each town’s assessment ratio to the same $200,000 sale and the same $500,000 sale, then orders the towns by that bill.
Statewide totals
The State’s 2025 property-tax workbook publishes one net taxable value and one levy for all of New Jersey. This site’s 2026 parcel file is a later sum, shown next to those certified figures.
How NJ taxes actually work
The year on the bill is January–December. The tax rate is often not final until summer. That is why 2026 numbers still move in July and August.
Two shapes of a New Jersey bill
Stafford Twp (Ocean): after the 2026 reval the general rate fell (2.623 → 1.412), but parcel bills still moved both ways — see the reval article.
Newark City (Essex): a high general rate with a municipal-heavy share of the local rate (~58% municipal on the loaded sheet), not the same story as a school-heavy suburb.
Reassessments
When a town revalues, the tax rate often drops while some parcels still pay more. Heat maps show who moved more than typical.
