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.

Multiplying this rate by the assessed value will give you an idea of potential property taxes.
Older Cape Cod style homes built in the 1950s–1960s can see taxes in the range of $7,000–$12,000.
New construction homes can see property taxes from $14,000–$50,000.
The upper portion of this range is typically for oceanfront or bayfront homes on large pieces of land.
