Atlantic County NJ property tax rates by town (2025)
Each town sets its own general rate. The bars below are one named municipality’s school / county / municipal split of that rate — not a single county-wide bill. State school aid is outside this bar; it reduces the school levy before the rate is struck. How NJ taxes work.

How to read Atlantic County
On the 2025 rate sheet, the middle municipality by school share is Corbin City: 51.8% schools, 30.9% county, 17.3% municipal. School share on that same sheet runs from Longport Boro at 3.4% to Estell Manor City at 64.0%.
Class 2 residential net assessments in this county changed from $26,163,981,813 to $26,433,660,095, up 1.0%, on 104,719 parcels with both a prior net and a 2026 net. That is the assessment roll for this county. It is not a list of which towns rose the most, and it is not an appraisal.
Estimated class 2 tax on the towns with both a prior rate and a current rate moved from $716,896,392 to $743,532,758, up 3.7%. Each of those 23 towns uses its own two rate years. The prior rate is as early as 2024 and the current rate is as late as 2025. This is not one calendar-year county levy. When a town reassesses, the assessment percent and this bill percent are different stories, because the rate falls as the assessments reset.
The largest class share of net assessed value in the 2026 file is Residential at 64.4%.
These are this county’s own figures. The general rate is not comparable across towns until each town’s assessment ratio is applied. The sale-price section states the tax on the same $200,000 sale and the same $500,000 sale after that ratio. Towns stay in legal-name order. State school aid is outside the rate bars.
Tax on a $200,000 or $500,000 sale, 2025
A sale price is not the assessment. In Atlantic County for 2025, each town’s average ratio turns that price into an assessment, and that town’s general rate is applied to the assessment. On a $500,000 sale, the bill is $3,494 in Longport Boro (ratio 62.90%, rate 1.111) and $17,025 in Pleasantville City (ratio 62.81%, rate 5.421). The middle bill is $10,907 in Hamilton Twp. A $200,000 sale uses the same ratio and rate in that town. This is an Abstract of Ratables estimate, not a collector bill, and the ratio is the town average, not an appraisal of one house.

Owner names are not shown. Each town’s own rate is used, so a higher assessment in a low-rate town can still be a lower tax. Commercial and industrial parcels (class 4A and 4B) are the business list. Apartment buildings are class 4C and are not in that list. This is not a collector’s bill.
Atlantic County this year
23 municipalities sit on the 2026 assessment file with loaded 2025 rates.
Atlantic City shows a mixed but municipal-leaning split on the loaded sheet (~40% schools / 16% county / 43% municipal, rate 3.380). Inland townships such as Egg Harbor Twp and Galloway Twp are school-heavier (~60–62% schools). Shore boroughs can sit at the bottom of the school-share range (for example Longport Boro).
The median school-share municipality is named above. Do not read “Atlantic County tax” as one rate — the table is the county story.
