I'm certainly no expert on property taxes, but it's not absurd that a house on the island has higher property taxes.

There's also a ton of other reasons why property taxes vary. Look at a place like Longport. Obviously, it's a very affluent area but their tax rates are some of the lowest around. Then look at places like Egg Harbor City & Absecon. They have higher property taxes than Galloway.

Yea, I grew up in Ocean City, the 1400sqf house I grew up in still stands, but is worth close to half a million now. It sits on 1/4 of an acre with a two car garage. My little house in Northfield has less than half the property and no garage. My taxes are more than twice what my growing up house pays.
