You have my sympathy. A home is only worth what someone pays for it... and I guess it all depends on the buyer past the $3M mark.
His was a new construction which he built himself after buying 1.3 acres of land with a knockdown house.
You can never be sure what the assessment might be until its done, and his was a sticker shock
The only consolation prize is... a similarly tax asssessed house in other towns could have a bill close to $90,000 or higher... !!!
New Jersey seriously needs to look into its spending problems.
I don’t really have a lot of sympathy for the guy with a $4 million dollar house and his property tax bill. Someone like that has a lot of control over where to live.
While I do think things can be done to lower property taxes some in the state, we ain’t never gonna property taxes like the southern states.
The flip side of that is our high taxes are why when I needed an ambulance many years ago, seven people from the town’s volunteer squad were at my apartment in two minutes. Meanwhile, my mother lived in Jacksonville, FL for many years and had a lot of health problems. When she needed an ambulance, it typically took 45 minutes to arrive at her apartment. Plus, the cost was billed to her Medicare/Medicaid. And do we really neee to compare NJ’s schools to FL’s?
As long as I can afford ‘em, gimme the higher taxes and better services…

And he would be wise to move out of state. Much more value once you leave the Boston-DC Corridor.
