Since you asked this question in the "Home Buying" category, I will address this question best I can.

Property taxes are different in each municipality of NJ. There are over 500 municipalities in NJ.

You must know the town (or municipality if you will) in which the property resides to know how much the taxes are.

You must know the property tax rate charged by said municipality.

You must know the total property assessment (also assigned by municipality).

Multiply the assessment by the yearly tax rate in decimal format to determine the amount of property taxes billed per year.

Example:

$80,000 total assessed property value

times

3.89% interest (change to decimal format of 0.0389)

equals

$3,112 in property taxes per year.

It may be much quicker for you to call the tax office of the municipality. Tax office will provide billing information to you.

Each and every municipality charges property taxes on a quarterly basis.

Due dates are February 1st, May 1st, August 1st, and November 1st.

If you pay a mortgage and have the tax bill escrowed you will not submit a payment to the municipal tax office - it's included in your mortgage already.

If you do not escrow property taxes in your mortgage or you own the property with no mortgage on it - you must pay the tax office quarterly.

To know the property taxes in NJ you must specify which municipality or contact the tax office of the municipality to find out what the billing amounts are.

Sales Tax in NJ:

Sales tax is charged at 7%

Very few towns have a state sales tax of 3.5% and generally such towns could be considered financially depressed on a per capita basis.

Where is my income taxable if the company is in ny but I work partly in NJ?

The general rule is that you income is taxable in BOTH the state where you work and the state where you live. Some states have reciprocal agreements, but NY and NJ do not. But NY has its dreaded telecommuter tax. If your employer requires you to work in NJ, the income you earned in NJ would not be taxable in NY (unless you live in NY). If your employer gave you the option of where to work, for example if they let you telecommute from your home in NJ, NY still considers the income to be taxable by NY. NJ would consider any income earned while working in NJ to be taxable in NJ and all income earned by a NJ resident, no matter where, to be taxable in NJ. Yes, it is possible for the same income to be taxable in two different states. If you live in NY or NJ, the state where you live will give you some credit for the taxes paid to another state to offset some of the double taxation. But if you live in a third state, you could be really screwed if you have income taxable by both NY and NJ, since your state would not let the credit they give you exceed the amount charged by that state.


What happens if mortgage is paid off but property taxes are owed in NJ?

The same thing happens as in any other state: If the property taxes are not paid, the city or town can take possession of the property by virtue of a tax taking. Such takings are governed by state law. The mortgage being paid makes no difference. There is considerable truth in the old saying that there is "Nothing certain but death - and taxes."

Are private disability claim checks taxable in NJ?

It depends on how you paid the premiums. If you paid with after tax dollars, your benefit is completely tax free. If you used pre-tax dollars you would owe Federal Income taxes, but not NJ Income taxes - NJ does not recognize pre-taxing. If your employer paid a portion of your private insurance premium, you would owe both Federal and State taxes.
