7% of our property taxes go to the schools, the rest is state money... But think about is, my house is less than 1200 feet.. I only pay slightly less in property taxes than my parents do for a 4 bdrm, 4 bath house in Bergen County (on 2 acres). In that district, 90 something % of the kids are proficient and 88% of the costs are born by the town.
See nifty interactive map: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2007/12/11/nyregion/20071212_JERSE Y_GRAPHIC.html So, if my $$ is not even needed for the schools should we not pay lower taxes? Oh, crap, I forgot about the 108 cops :) For resale too it stinks bc a lot of the new condos got a tax abatement, right? I do not have such an abatement. --- In [email protected], "oakdorf" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], "fancypaaantz" <fancypaaantz@> wrote: > > > > e.
