Reply to comment by carregaldosal in New Jersey’s notorious property-tax bills went up once again last year, growing on average by more than $200 or more than 2%, according to the latest data from the state; the increase pushed the average New Jersey property-tax bill to a record-high $9,490 in 2022 by rollotomasi07071

They dont. Half of the property taxes go to the local Abbott district

The SDA districts get approximately 50% of the state education budget. The other 500 or so get the other half. Should we support education in lower income areas? Yes, but not to the extravagance that we currently are.

“Pick what you want, the state is paying for it” is a phrase that’s been heard in some of these districts. As a result, I know someone who had a VERY nice office chair.

Lmao now I'm a techbro and a racist? Amazing. Are you claiming that my property taxes aren't going to a county school fund that is primarily dispersed in an Abbot district(or w/e its called)? Are my property tax documents that I receive stating otherwise incorrect?

It is true according to my property tax documents that I get. Half of the school tax is sent to the county and redistributed to one town
