as if on cue
N.J.'s local tax bills keep spiraling upward
Quote:
Even as incomes have dropped (4.4 percent), and overall taxable value has fallen in a third of the towns, an Inquirer analysis showed that from 2000 to 2011, average tax bills in Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester Counties rose 44 percent. And that's adjusted for inflation. ..In the most recent National Tax Foundation survey, New Jersey ranked No. 1 for state and local taxation as a percentage of income - 12.2 percent. Pennsylvania came in No. 10, at 10.1 percent. The Tax Foundation study was based on 2009 data, and it plans to update its survey Tuesday...anice Potts, former resident of a place she still loves, Haddonfield, which had South Jersey's highest annual average tax bill, $12,282 in 2011. She sliced her bill by more than $10,000 by buying a home of similar value in a place not commonly viewed as a tax refuge: Philadelphia...

Frank will never accept that NJ has higher taxes. He is trying to find any excuse to explain why he moved to NJ.

That's because Bucks County, Chester County and Montgomery County are some of the wealthiest counties in the United States and Camden County is not .

That's what I was saying from the very beginning on a similar thread in the New Jersey forum. The most expensive part of Pennsylvania is being compared to one of the least expensive parts of New Jersey. Its sort of misleading in a way.

Makes no sense to me

Oh wait, yes it does. This is Frank. He will go to any extreme to paint PA and Philadelphia in a bad light. even if it means only telling HALF of the story while completely neglecting important information.

I mean look at the "Official Philadelphia Crime Thread." 90% of the posts are from him. In fact, every single post is about crime in Philadelphia. Not crime in Camden, not crime in Chester, not crime in South Jersey, not crime in any of the PA suburbs. EVERY post is about Philadelphia. Talking about "Oh I tell people the truth." No he purposely paints Philadelphia in a bad light every chance he gets.

It's a known fact that the PA side of the Philly metro is USUALLY much wealthier than the NJ side. Of course the PA suburbs are going to have higher taxes then

Like I said before, the interactive map a very good idea that has been very poorly executed. As I said before, incomes and home values are far from evenly distributed throughout the metropolitan area, and even on a county-wide basis, assessment-to-market value ratios are not at all uniform. Delco's ratio is definitely being unfairly skewed on the basis of the Inner Ring, where assessments have remained the same, but actual property values have appreciated at a far slower rate than the County's central and outer portions.
