Jersey City

Taxes this government levies

Levies we can source to Jersey City as the levying government, quoted from the official sources linked on each row. Overlapping governments (state, county, regional authorities) levy their own taxes on the same residents — the calculator links below combine the full stack.

• Jersey city payroll tax — 1.0% Paid by employers, based on where the work is performed
  Employer-side cost of hiring in Jersey City — 1% of gross payroll for employers located in Jersey City, funding the city's public schools. Wages of Jersey City residents are exempt (the hire-local inverse of Newark's relief design) and quarters under $2,500 owe nothing. The ordinance bars withholding it from wages — an employer cost, not part of this resident estimate.

• Property tax — levy authority identified; rates under review (still needed: sentinel parcel validation)
