WHERE DO YOUR 2025 TAX DOLLARS GO?
In NJ, your property tax bill pays for local government, school and county expenses. The City of Northfield collects your property taxes, and distributes most of this money to the other entities. So where exactly does your money go? Please see the chart using the link provided. Roughly 29 cents of every dollar is retained by the City of Northfield for the purpose of providing all municipal services, including public safety, and the other 71 cents is sent to the local and regional schools, and to Atlantic County government, to fund the services they provide.
