The tax rate on your bill is determined by the County Board of Taxation based on budgets submitted by the Municipality, County, Schools and Fire district. Your taxes could increase yearly without your assessed value changing. This increase would be based on the “amount to be raised by taxation” in the budget. State Aid could affect this amount annually, as well.
