Property taxes

Property taxes on Long Beach Island can vary widely depending on the town, the home’s age, and its location. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you understand what to expect:

  • Like most things on LBI, property taxes vary by town.

  • Ship Bottom generally has the lowest property taxes, while Beach Haven often has the highest.

  • Property taxes are based on the tax assessed value, which is typically lower than market value.
