Median property taxes
Dear New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, Division of Local Government Services,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
For calendar years 2018-2020:
1. Municipality code;
2. Municipality name;
3. County name;
4. Median Total Property Taxes (*excluding* credits and deductions);
5. Median Total Property Taxes (*including* credits and deductions);
6. Average (Mean) Total Property Taxes (*including* credits and deductions)
Please deliver this info electronically in spreadsheet format.
We don't calculate median property tax, but everything what that is requested is available on our website in the property tax spreadsheet, which I have attached.

In order to calculate median property tax, we would need property tax data about every plot of land in a municipality and that is only available at the municipal level. The Department of Treasury may have this data.
