Hi everyone, I’m trying to find out how much the local income tax is in each county or city in New Jersey, but I’m having trouble finding it. State income tax is available, but not municipal. Does anybody know the location of this?
Hunting for local income tax rates in New Jersey? Here’s the shortcut:
- NJ Division of Taxation website: Check for county-level totals (might not have your specific city).
- Municipal websites: most accurate information! Look under “taxes” or “finance” for local income tax details.
Bonus tip: If the website is confusing, call the municipality’s tax department directly.
I once faced a similar challenge while researching local taxes in New Jersey. After digging through various sources, I discovered that New Jersey does not have local income taxes at the county or city level—only the state income tax applies. For property taxes, which vary by municipality, you can find detailed information on each county or city’s official website or through the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs. If you need specific details, contacting local tax offices directly can provide the most accurate and up-to-date information.
