New Jersey’s highest-in-the-nation property taxes crept 2.1 percent higher last year to hit an average of $8,953, an increase of $186.

Of course, depending on where you live and the value of your home, you may pay much more or less than that figure, which is based on property tax data from the 565 municipalities statewide.

County-by-county, average tax bills ranged from a low of $4,412 in Cumberland County to a high of $12,531 in Essex County. Town-by-town, average bills were as low as $515 in tiny Walpack or as high as $29,890 in even-tinier Tavistock.
