Side-by-side comparison

Same questions. Different answers per town.

County millage (29.65 mills in 2026) is identical in all 54 municipalities, so the differences below come from the municipal and school layers. Millage applies to the county assessed value, not market price — see the tax guide for how the three bills work.

ACS figures are survey estimates with margins of error — small boroughs carry wide margins. Millage rates are provided by local taxing authorities. Verify with the Board of Assessment, your municipal tax collector, and your school district before relying on any figure.

Read the numbers right

A comparison frames the decision — it doesn't make it.

What the tax rows mean

Total millage × assessed value ÷ 1,000 estimates the annual bill before homestead exclusion. Two towns with similar market prices can carry very different bills because school millage dominates the total. Estimate a real bill on the tax estimator.

What the ACS rows mean

Census ACS medians describe the existing housing stock and households — not current listings. Use them to compare towns against each other, then verify any single property through the county property portal ↗.
