Yep paying like 11k and somehow my town doesn’t offer free kindergarten and only has recycling twice per month
Makes you wonder what they use all the property tax money on.
if it's anything like long island then 20%-25% is local town and county taxes and the rest school taxes. For nassau I looked up a home one time and they had the exact breakdown of all the taxes line by line a homeowner pays
On average over half of your town's property taxes go to the municipality's schools.

My town pays a few million dollars to bus kids to private schools when the town is so small they don’t offer bussing to public school kids. I believe Christie passed that law but don’t quote me in that.
They dont. Half of the property taxes go to the local Abbott district

The SDA districts get approximately 50% of the state education budget. The other 500 or so get the other half. Should we support education in lower income areas? Yes, but not to the extravagance that we currently are.
“Pick what you want, the state is paying for it” is a phrase that’s been heard in some of these districts. As a result, I know someone who had a VERY nice office chair.
Lmao now I'm a techbro and a racist? Amazing. Are you claiming that my property taxes aren't going to a county school fund that is primarily dispersed in an Abbot district(or w/e its called)? Are my property tax documents that I receive stating otherwise incorrect?
That’s not true
It is true according to my property tax documents that I get. Half of the school tax is sent to the county and redistributed to one town
my town only offers half day for free, you gotta pay for full day
but, our recycling is down by the county (morris) not the town, not sure if yours is as well
Our recycling is at the county level.
Need to have less little townships and towns to spend less on admin/overhead.
