Hudson 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 Hudson County

Class 2 residential net assessments in this county changed from $48,206,686,690 to $48,858,952,422, up 1.4%, on 111,944 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 $1,132,224,693 to $1,186,480,608, up 4.8%. Each of those 12 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 38.6%.
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 Hudson 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 $5,393 in Hoboken City (ratio 59.76%, rate 1.805) and $12,211 in Guttenberg Town (ratio 58.41%, rate 4.181). The middle bill is $8,951 in West New York Town. 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 Hudson County is $883,755 at 25 VAN REIPEN AVE., Jersey City, on a net assessment of $37,848,200 and a 2025 general rate of 2.335.
727 ADAMS ST in Hoboken City is assessed at $7,650,500, higher than 196-230 PASSAIC AVE in Kearny Town at $3,379,700. The estimated tax is still lower, $138,092 versus $366,630, because the general rates are 1.805 and 10.848.
The highest business estimate in Hudson County is $9,145,639 at 30 HUDSON ST., Jersey City, on a net assessment of $391,676,200 and a 2025 general rate of 2.335.
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.
Hudson County this year
12 municipalities sit on the 2026 assessment file. Loaded general rates in this warehouse are 2025 rates — read each town page’s rate-year note before treating a YoY percent as final.
Jersey City is the scale story: general rate 2.335 on the loaded sheet, with roughly 45% schools / 18% county / 37% municipal of the three-bucket sum. Hoboken City shows a lower general rate (1.805) and a more even three-way split (~31% / 33% / 36%). Same county, different bill shapes.
School-share extremes on the 2025 sheet run from Union City (low school share of the local rate) to Kearny Town (higher school share). The median school-share municipality is Harrison Town. Raw general rates are not a Hudson “who pays more” ranking — equalized ratios differ.
