Gloucester 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 $21,872,460,896 to $23,549,291,396, up 7.7%, on 96,207 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 $737,005,603 to $815,516,828, up 10.7%. Each of those 24 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 62.8%.
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 Gloucester 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 $7,225 in Logan Twp (ratio 100.00%, rate 1.445) and $16,351 in Woodbury City (ratio 67.22%, rate 4.865). The middle bill is $11,822 in Glassboro 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.

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.
Gloucester County this year
24 municipalities sit on the 2026 assessment file. Loaded general rates in this warehouse are predominantly 2025 — check each town’s rate-year note before reading a YoY percent as final.
On the 2025 sheet, school share of the local rate runs from Woodbury City (~45% schools) to So Harrison Twp (~67% schools). The median school-share municipality is named in the panel above (Westville Boro on the loaded file, about 57% / 14% / 29% school/county/municipal).
Woodbury City sits toward the municipal-heavy end of the county (~40% municipal / ~45% schools, general rate 4.865). That contrast is why a single “Gloucester County tax rate” headline fails — the table is the story.
