Going back to thread from 9 months ago, we still arent receiving what we overpaid yet. Its working though, the sheep forget and are happy to get money right before the November election when almost all NJ state seats are up for vote.
Phil Murphy is likely the most corrupt politician at least in modern history, outpacing the Bidens which is saying alot.
I’m sure you’ll say the same about WHOEVER the next democrat governor/president is.

Whether someone wants good roads, or good police and fire protection, or environmental protection, or consumer protection, or any other existing governmental function, those services are all funded by taxation of some sort.
How do some of the southern states have all of that and still have low property taxes?

Take a look at the salaries they pay to government employees--from the low-echelon laborers, to their clerks, cops, firefighters, and teachers--and you will see that the salaries are MUCH lower. Then, you might also want to take a look at how their schools are ranked.

In addition to what Retriever said, those states get $$ other ways: like imposing sales tax on more things; higher vehicle registration fees (e.g. in So. Carolina, the fees go up relative to the vehicles value); etc.

In some of those states, it can cost upwards of $700 per year to register your vehicle. Additionally, many of them place a sales tax on groceries and/or on clothing.

My friend in Arlington, VA, has lower property taxes, but she pays a personal property tax on her vehicle each year.
Just got mailer today for 2020 and just realized we missed out on 2019. We moved in 2020 so the mailer for 2019 must have been sent to the address of our old house. I saw this thread too but never bothered to check it. I'm going to be calling them tomorrow and hoping they'll still let me file for 2019.
Interesting... Give money back to the residents and people still manage to find something to be sour about...
I moved to NJ after living in a few areas in the South 20+ years ago. My elderly parents still live in TX. While it is expensive living here, I would rather be in NJ.
Every state has disadvantages and advantages. People have a tendency to cherry-pick specific things of one state to compare to another to validate their grievances. They ignore the holistic picture. NJ for example ranks very high in educational and child care services.
My wife works with children with disabilities and the services offered/available are far better here than in most states. As such it was good for her career. Once we had children, it was apparent how fortunate we would be beyond my wife's career. One of my sons has a learning disability and we are thankful for the support he receives. A family nearby ran into hardships and they had to go without medical coverage. They were thankful that their children were covered under NJ Medicaid until they could get back on their feet.
But yeah.... property tax here is high. We make do with a small property which keeps it relatively low by comparison to others in the neighborhood. So the ANCHOR benefits are a welcome return...
