Hudson County median annual tax bill: approximately $9,300-$9,500 at a 1.69% effective rate. Important: much of Hudson County's new construction -- particularly in Jersey City, Harrison, and Weehawken -- operates under PILOT arrangements (Payment in Lieu of Taxes). PILOT payments are typically $3,000-$6,000/year vs $12,000-$15,000 at standard rates during the PILOT term (usually 20-30 years). At expiration, taxes revert to full standard rates. Always ask about PILOT status for any new-construction purchase and model the post-PILOT carrying cost. Town ranges: Secaucus low at $6,612/yr; Weehawken luxury high at $25,000+. Kearny's high general rate (10.57%) applies to low assessed values -- actual bill ~$9,996/yr. Hudson County Board of Taxation for appeals. Contact us for a town-specific tax estimate.
