Jersey City has finalized its 2023 property tax rate at $2.247, resulting in a 6% additional increase over last year’s rate. Because last year’s rate soared an unprecedented 32% over 2021’s tax rate, this increase appears more “reasonable”, despite significantly exceeding the average annual tax rate growth across the state.
