What the payment actually costs
New Jersey property tax averages 2.49% of value — 1st highest of 51 states, against a national average near 1.10%. On a $400,000 home that is about $9,960 a year, or $830 a month added to principal and interest.
Homeowners insurance runs about $1,370 a year in New Jersey, 32nd of 51 states and below the $1,552 national average. Together, tax and insurance add roughly $944 a month to the payment before you have paid a dollar of principal.
How this fits the rest of your tax bill
New Jersey taxes both income and property, so neither side offsets the other. Property tax at 2.49% ranks 1st of 51, and state income tax applies on top. Model both together when comparing against a no-income-tax state, because the comparison flips depending on how much house you buy relative to what you earn.
Housing costs compound with the rate. New Jersey runs about 13% above national-average costs, so the same 2.49% rate applies to a larger assessed value than it would elsewhere. A percentage rate is only half the number that matters; the base it applies to is the other half.
Property tax rates are effective statewide averages; your county assessor sets the actual figure and it varies widely within a state. See our methodology.
