Your total Real Estate Tax includes your school tax, county tax, library tax, open space tax and your local purpose tax. Each taxing authority has their own tax rate. These tax rates are added together for a total tax rate each year. If you have any questions regarding any of these other tax rates you should contact that department and not the Borough Tax Office. The total tax rate is multiplied by your total assessment. This will give you the total Real Estate Taxes that you will be responsible for paying each year.
