Westchester Property Taxes (Hope: home, school district, taxi)

[outtanyc]

Does anyone have a website that has tax information for Westchester? ie. there's a website with all NJ's towns' tax rates that determine property tax increases, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Property taxes are the sum of the property tax levied by up to 20 or so taxing districts in which the property is located. These taxing districts are the county, town, village, if in a village, school district, library district, fire district, water district, sewer district, park district, etc., etc., etc.

Each of these taxing districts passes a budget, some by a vote of the residents of the taxing district and others by the governing board of the taxing district.

The budget is then divided by the sum of the assessed value within the taxing district to arrive at the property tax rate, which is then applied to each individual property within the taxing district to calculate that property's tax bill for that specific property.

Do this for all the 20 or so taxing districts that a property is located in and sum these 20 or so property tax bills to arrive at the total property tax bill for that property.

Repeat the next year to calculate the next year's property tax bill, and so on and so on ...

Try zillow.com and it will show home prices and taxes. The home prices do not seem to me to be as accurate as when this site first came out, but sometimes the taxes are based on actual data.
