Camden 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.

Class 2 residential net assessments in this county changed from $33,583,386,350 to $34,572,841,700, up 2.9%, on 154,736 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 $1,367,279,816 to $1,250,143,866, down 8.6%. Each of those 34 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 61.7%.
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 Camden 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 $6,621 in Pennsauken Twp (ratio 60.97%, rate 2.172) and $34,552 in Audubon Park Boro (ratio 99.89%, rate 6.918). The middle bill is $14,509 in Bellmawr Boro. 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.
The highest residential estimate in Camden County is $142,162 at 4 WILDERNESS WAY, Cherry Hill Twp, on a net assessment of $3,269,600 and a 2025 general rate of 4.348.
35 LANE OF ACRES in Haddonfield Boro is assessed at $3,950,000, higher than 4 WILDERNESS WAY in Cherry Hill Twp at $3,269,600. The estimated tax is still lower, $130,943 versus $142,162, because the general rates are 3.315 and 4.348.
The highest business estimate in Camden County is $8,696,000 at 2000 RT 38, Cherry Hill Twp, on a net assessment of $200,000,000 and a 2025 general rate of 4.348.
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.
Camden County this year
35 municipalities sit on the 2026 assessment file. Loaded rates are 2025.
Camden City shows a municipal-heavy local rate (~25% schools / 26% county / 50% municipal, rate 3.687). Cherry Hill Twp sits at the top of the school-share range (~62% schools / 22% county / 16% municipal, rate 4.348). That is the city-vs-suburb mechanism on one county page.
The median school-share municipality is named above. State school aid can shrink a city school levy before the rate is struck — it is still not a fourth slice of these bars. How NJ taxes work.
