But in some towns, typical homeowners are paying more than double that.

Here are the 30 municipalities that had the highest average property taxes last year:
30. Woodcliff Lake
Homeowners in this Bergen County borough paid, on average, $16,082 last year, $229 more than in 2019.
29. Closter
The average property tax bill in Closter was $16,283 in 2019. It is one of 14 Bergen County municipalities to land on the list.
Commissioners revamp Land Use changes againNews
February 10, 2021
, by Lonnie Adams
ELLIJAY, Ga. – Gilmer’s Board of Commissioners took another meeting this week to revisit changes to the Land Use Ordinance considering density, Residential, and Agricultural Zonings.
This time, the board met alongside the Planning Commission to inquire and discuss changes with them as well. While much of the focus recently has been on R-1 and R-2 zones and the lot size for those zones, the commissioners ultimately focused on Agricultural for most of its changes as proposed by the end of the meeting.
After the nearly two-and-a-half-hour meeting, these changes included backing off of lot-size changes in R-1 and R-2 as Commission Chairman Charlie Paris said he spoke with “a representative from the regional commission and the Department of Community Affairs last week.”

With customers now owing as much as $600 million in unpaid gas and electric bills, advocates said the state needs to extend a moratorium on utility shutoffs while a program to help them is developed.
As the COVID-19 pandemic has peeled hundreds of thousands of jobs from the economy, the number of residential and commercial customers who have fallen behind in paying their bills has soared, according to utility executives and the state Board of Public Utilities.
Just how big a problem it is remains uncertain. The BPU declined to detail the total amount owed by customers, saying those numbers would be released soon. Others, who spoke at an initial stakeholder meeting on the issue Monday, also mostly avoided talking about specifics.
The thousands of New Jersey workers still unable to resolve problems filing an unemployment claim amid the COVID-19 pandemic face delayed payments of their benefits, which can trigger a cascade of long-lasting, wide-reaching consequences.
They face the threat of eviction, and the stain of court records that can follow them as they search for a new home. Medical bills mount. Credit scores worsen. Debt compounds.
Even when they finally receive the unemployment payments they are waiting for, the damage done could be difficult to undo.
The problems New Jerseyans have experienced with the state Department of Labor and the unemployment system during the pandemic vary widely. Some workers abruptly stopped seeing checks. Others never moved from a pending status or haven t had an interview scheduled to determine whether they are eligible for jobless benefits. Some are waiting for agents to backdate their claims.
