Atricle Dump - Local Property Taxes In New Jersey - A Primer
More and more companies use phone interviews these days to reduce the pool of applicants to a manageable size for interview, especially for national recruitment campaigns like graduate or trainee schemes, or for mass recruitment required with the opening of a new company - store and the like.You can be 'phone-interviewed' in two ways: By invitation, when you are given a time to call or a time to receive a call. Without invitation, i.e. unexpectedly!So, while you're actively looking for a job, it's important to be prepared for a phone interview at a moment's notice. You never know when a Company or Agency might call and ask if you have a few minutes to talk.Phone interviewers questions are usually more general in nature than face to face interview questions and are sometimes even multiple choice.Multiple choice questions will ask you, for example: "Do you strongly disagree, disagree, agree or strongly agree with the following statement: 'I have the killer instinct'". "Do you strongly disagree, disagree, agree or strongly agree with the following statement: 'I prefer to work on tasks on my own'".These type of phone interview questions try, at a very basic level, to ween out candidates wholly unsuitable for the job.Our advice? Know the sort of person the interviewer is looking for and answer the question accordingly.Here are our TOP phone interview tips: learned.
In Jerry's Hometown:
The Total Amount to be Raised by Taxation is $300,000
The True Value of All Real Property is $60,000,000
The Assessor Uses an Assessment Ratio of X 100%
Thus the Total Assessed Valuation Taxable is $60,000,000
The Tax Rate then is ($300,000)/ - $5 per $100 of Assessed Valuation
$60,000,000)
Accordingly, if Jerry's House and Lot have a market value of $300,000
And the assessor uniformly applies an Assessment Ratio of 100% 100% (Note: All New Jersey County Boards Of Taxation Require 100% Ratio)
Jerry's house will be Assessed at: $300,000
By applying the Tax Rate in Jerry's Town X $5.00
JERRY'S TAX BILL WILL BE $ 1,500
LESSON SIX (Continued)
NOW, assuming 10 years have passed and property values have doubled in value due to property inflation, And, assuming that the Budgets remained the same:
And, the Total Amount to be Raised by Taxation is still. $300,000
And, with the Assessor assessing at 100% of true value. (NOTE: Reducing the ratio to 50% as happens in states, other than New Jersey, would mathematically just result in a doubling of the tax rate.)
And, property inflation has increased the town's total Assessed Valuation Taxable, so after a revaluation with a 100% ratio the town's total assessed valuation taxable is now. $120,000,000
The Tax Rate is then ($300,000) / - $2.50 per $100 of Assessed Valuation
(120,000,000) After the Revaluation the total tax base in the town doubled in value.

Unemployment is the state when one is not able to find work. Being an unemployed person, one can find himself in the clutches of debt. Almost everyone faces this condition, but with the availability of cheap loans for unemployed it is easy to tackle this situation on their own.Cheap loans for unemployed are specifically crafted for unemployed to get rid of their debts. Cheap loans for unemployed are similar to any other loan as they can also be secured or unsecured. Secured loan is meant for those who can easily put their property as collateral. Collateral generally involves home or other immovable property. You can avail lower interest rate if you pledge a good amount of collateral. You can accomplish a variety of tasks by obtaining secured cheap loans for unemployed like:• Improvement of your home• Starting of a new business• Holidays• Arranging cash for wedding etc…On the contrary, unsecured cheap loans for unemployed do not require any collateral as security against the loan. This includes a bit higher interest rate as compared to secured loans.When we talk about cheap loans for unemployed, we are talking about the lower interest rate with better terms and conditions. The main motive behind availing cheap loans for unemployed is to make the unemployed stay away from the stress of higher per month installments. The interest rate that you can get depends on your previous credit score. If you have a good credit score, you may negotiate with the lender on interest rate par
First Remember that:
THE LOCAL PROPERTY TAX in New Jersey is in fact a LOCAL TAX.
This means that the tax is assessed and collected at the local municipal level for the support of:
LOCAL SCHOOLS
MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT
COUNTY GOVERNMENT
THE STATE RECEIVES NO PORTION OF THESE PROPERTY TAXES.
As a matter of fact the State pays out 48? of every State revenue dollar collected to counties, municipalities and schools in some form of State Aid. In 1961, some 44 years ago, the State paid out 43 cents of every State revenue dollar collected.
In FY 2005 the State budgeted approximately $12,465.6 million in State funding for property tax relief programs for the following purposes:
($Millions)
Schools Aid $8,657.3
Municipal Aid 1,757.0
Other Local Aid 716.0
Direct Taxpayer Relief 1,335.3
TOTAL $12,465.6
LESSON TWO
Next we must understand that:
THE LOCAL PROPERTY TAX in New Jersey is a RESIDUAL TAX.
A Residual Tax is one which is levied to raise the amount of money required over and above the total revenues available from other sources.
For example, in Jerry's Small Town, total budget requirements are:
For Local Schools $ 149,000
For Municipal Services 175,000
For County Services 75,000
Other Items 1,000
TOTAL BUDGET REQUIREMENTS $400,000
Available Revenues to offset these requirements:
State School Aid $ 75,000
Other Revenues 25,000
(Parking Meters, Licenses,
Court Fines, Etc.)
TOTAL AVAILABLE REVENUES $100,000
AMOUNT TO BE RAISED BY
LOCAL PROPERTY TAXATION $300,000
This $300,000 is the RESIDUAL amount to be raised by Taxation after giving effect to all other sources of revenue.
LESSON THREE
Now we must also understand that:
THE LOCAL PROPERTY TAX in New Jersey is an AD VALOREM TAX.
Don't let that fancy name frighten you.
An AD VALOREM tax simply means that each taxpayer shares in the total tax burden of his town in the direct proportion as the value of his property bears to the total value of all the property in his town.
AD VALOREM means each taxpayer pays according to the value of the property he owns. The amount of property he owns is used as a yardstick in determining his ability to pay.
For Example:
Jerry owns a house and lot
having a market value of $ 300,000
The total market value of all property
in Jerry's towns is $60,000,000
ACCORDINGLY:
Jerry's share of the total Local
Property Tax base is $300,000 /
$60,000,000
$300,000 equals ? of 1% of the total property tax base of $60,000,000.
Reducing this to a decimal, Jerry's share of the total Local Property Taxes in his community is ? of 1%, or .005.
This percentage is usually shown as a Tax Rate charged for each $100 of Assessed Valuation. (See Lesson Four)
AD VALOREM means nothing more than PROPORTIONATE OR FAIR SHARE.

AD VALOREM TAX, which means that each taxpayer pays his proportionate share based on the value of the property he owns.
LESSON FOUR
Now, we must learn the answer to the question:
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF TAX RATE?
TAX RATE is the number of dollars per $100 of Assessed Valuations which must be applied to the assessed valuation of all property in a taxing district in order to produce the amount of money required to support school, county and municipal budgets.
TAX RATE is another method used to arrive at the amount of each taxpayer's proportionate share of local taxes.
The TAX RATE is determined by a simple arithmetic calculation similar to the method illustrated in Lesson Three.
Total Amount to be Raised by Taxation - $300,000
Total Value of all property in Town - $60,000,000
$300,000/
$60,000,000 = .05
The Tax Rate is then 5? per $1 of Assessed Valuation
or
$5.00 per $100 of Assessed Valuations
EXAMPLE:
Jerry's house and lot have
an Assessed Valuation of ------------------ $300,000
Tax Rate per $100 of
Assessed Valuation ------------------------- X $5.00
Jerry's Tax Bill is --------------------------- $ 1,500.00
LESSON FIVE
What is the meaning of -
TRUE VALUE
ASSESSMENT RATIO
ASSESSED VALUATION
TRUE VALUE means market value - the amount a parcel of real property would sell for at a fair and bona fide sale.
ASSESSMENT RATIO is that percent of True Value used by the assessor in making up his assessment rolls as prescribed by his/her County Board of Taxation).
In New Jersey assessors use the statutory 100% ratio or Full True market value in making up their assessment rolls; assessors in others states use assessment ratios or percentages less than 100%.
ASSESSED VALUATION or ASSESSMENT is the value placed on each parcel of property by the assessor as indicated above; it is determined by the use of True Value or some percentage thereof.
REVIEW
In Lessons One and Two we learned that:
Total Budgets less available revenues result in the Residual Amount to be raised by taxation which is the total tax bill.
It follows then that the amount to be raised by taxation is a primary factor in determining the amount of each individual property owner's tax bill.
In Lesson Three we learned that:
Local Property Taxes are apportioned among property owners according to the value of each individual taxpayer's property in proportion to the value of the property of all taxpayers.
We learned that this method of taxation is called AD VALOREM taxation.
In Lesson Four we learned that:
Tax Rate is the dollar amount per $100 of assessed valuation which must be raised to support local budgets.
In Lesson Five we learned that:
Assessed Valuation is the true value or percentage of true value placed on each parcel of property by the assessor. This is the basic factor which implements the AD VALOREM principle of taxation.
LESSON SIX
What are the relationships among:
Total Amount to be Raised by Taxation
Tax Rate
Amount of the Individual Taxpayer's Bill
The relationship among these factors can best be illustrated by the following example. This example incorporates some of the lessons we have already learned.
In Jerry's Hometown:
The Total Amount to be Raised by Taxation is $300,000
The True Value of All Real Property is $60,000,000

Accordingly, if Jerry's House and Lot have a market value of $300,000
And the assessor uniformly applies an Assessment Ratio of 100% 100% (Note: All New Jersey County Boards Of Taxation Require 100% Ratio)
Jerry's house will be Assessed at: $300,000

And, with the Assessor assessing at 100% of true value. (NOTE: Reducing the ratio to 50% as happens in states, other than New Jersey, would mathematically just result in a doubling of the tax rate.)
And, property inflation has increased the town's total Assessed Valuation Taxable, so after a revaluation with a 100% ratio the town's total assessed valuation taxable is now. $120,000,000
The Tax Rate is then ($300,000) / - $2.50 per $100 of Assessed Valuation
(120,000,000) After the Revaluation the total tax base in the town doubled in value.

Blogs are mushrooming at the speed of light today and blogging can be a very rewarding and profitable tool. Blogs don’t need any startup or set up fees and you can easily start a blog with so many free services out there. The key is to market your blog well and increase you reader base so that when you market any product it reaches a large number of people. 1. The first step would be simply to start a blog with a free blog hosting service. You can easily start and no advanced knowledge of technical stuff is needed so you don’t have to think about maintenance and focus solely on your content. 2. Decide on a topic that you are interested in, know about and are wiling to write passionately about. This topic decides the keywords that are going to be indexed by search engines and also by the audience that is going to read your blog. This decides the special niche that your blog belongs to and no matter the popularity of the keywords as long as you have readership you are on! 3. Update your blog daily so that you are constantly in the circle of search engines crawlers. Your readers will also find a blog that is updated daily to be more appealing and treat your blog as a serious endeavor. Your blog will just drop out of sight if you don’t update and visitors will lose interest and stop visiting you. 4. Of course to think of making a profit off your blog you must have a strong reader base. If you don’t have any readers then why would any advertiser choose you? Do a through market

Funds are one of the most crucial things that you need while conceiving a plan to buy a home of your own. The present world runs with the help of finances. For all your big or small needs, you need finds. The type may differ, but, not the purpose of the borrowers. Funds can be managed in dual ways. You can either manage on your own or seek aid from some external source of finance. You have a bright possibility with secured home loans, in case you are looking for funds to finance purchase of your home. Here is a brief account of some veracious facts about secured home loans.While looking for secured home loans, you will be asked to offer some of your assets as collateral. This particular asset will secure the loan amount of secured home loans and offer you major benefits. You can offer anything from your home to vehicle, even property or any other assets. The value of your assets will be taken in to consideration and may serve as a deciding factor for the interest rates and the amount you will be issued to buy your home.A sound piece of advice to somebody going for secured home loans would be to apply to that specific loan amount, which is in confirmation to your needs. You must be assured of repaying the loan amount with in proposed time limit.The brighter side of secured home loans is that you can have hefty loan amounts that too at nominal interest rates. You will have ample time to settle the loan amount. And not so brighter side of secured home loans is that in case of your incapability of repayi
In Jerry's Hometown:
The Total Amount to be Raised by Taxation is $300,000
The True Value of All Real Property is $60,000,000
The Assessor Uses an Assessment Ratio of X 100%
Thus the Total Assessed Valuation Taxable is $60,000,000
The Tax Rate then is ($300,000)/ - $5 per $100 of Assessed Valuation
$60,000,000)
Accordingly, if Jerry's House and Lot have a market value of $300,000
And the assessor uniformly applies an Assessment Ratio of 100% 100% (Note: All New Jersey County Boards Of Taxation Require 100% Ratio)
Jerry's house will be Assessed at: $300,000
By applying the Tax Rate in Jerry's Town X $5.00
JERRY'S TAX BILL WILL BE $ 1,500
LESSON SIX (Continued)
NOW, assuming 10 years have passed and property values have doubled in value due to property inflation, And, assuming that the Budgets remained the same:
And, the Total Amount to be Raised by Taxation is still. $300,000
And, with the Assessor assessing at 100% of true value. (NOTE: Reducing the ratio to 50% as happens in states, other than New Jersey, would mathematically just result in a doubling of the tax rate.)
And, property inflation has increased the town's total Assessed Valuation Taxable, so after a revaluation with a 100% ratio the town's total assessed valuation taxable is now. $120,000,000
The Tax Rate is then ($300,000) / - $2.50 per $100 of Assessed Valuation
(120,000,000) After the Revaluation the total tax base in the town doubled in value.
Since all assessments are at True Value,
Jerry's House after the revaluation will now be assessed at $ 600,000
By applying the Tax RATE of $2.50 per $100 of value X $2.50
JERRY'S TAX BILL WILL STILL BE $ 1,500
Thus, we learn that if the Amount to be Raised by Taxation remains the same:
Tax Rates are high when Assessment Ratios are low in some states other than New Jersey. Conversely, Tax Rates are low when Assessment Ratios are high in some states other than New Jersey.
The amount of a property owner's Tax Bill is not affected by Assessment Ratios or by Tax Rates.
The amount of an individual's tax bill is determined by The Amount to be Raised by Taxation, and by the proportionate value of his property as it bears to the total value of all property in his municipality.
LESSON SEVEN
What is meant by EQUALIZATION?
The term EQUALIZATION as commonly used has a twofold meaning:
INTER-DISTRICT EQUALIZATION, i.e., Equalization among taxing districts, has as its purpose the determination of the true wealth of every municipality to the end that each receives a fair amount of State School Aid and pays an equitable share of the costs of county government.
Inter-district equalization is substantially an accomplished fact in New Jersey.
The State School Aid Equalization Table, which is based on a continuing statewide sales-assessment ratio study, provides for the equitable apportionment of the costs of county government among the taxing districts within the several counties.
This Table is also used as the basis of apportioning certain costs of Joint, Consolidated and Regional School Districts.
INTRA-DISTRICT EQUALIZATION, i.e., Equalization within a municipality, means equitable tax treatment among property owners of the same class of property and equitable tax treatment among property owners of different classes of property.
This simply means that homeowners having homes of similar value are assessed alike - that is, Jerry's home and your home, having an equal value, are assessed at the same value. Similarly, Jerry's place of business, having the same value as other places of business, is assessed at the same value.
This is known as Intra-Municipal Equalization, and is the very core of the principle of Ad Valorem Taxation.
Intra-Municipal Equalization is generally attained by carrying out an overall professional Revaluation Program where all properties are re-evaluated as to their market value or 100% value.
LESSON EIGHT
What is meant by REVALUATION?
The REVALUATION of a taxing district is accomplished by having an appraisal made of every piece of real property within the taxing district by a competent professional revaluation firm.
CARRYING OUT A HIGH QUALITY REVALUATION PROGRAM involves the application of uniform standards and procedures in arriving at equitable appraised values for all parcels of property in the taxing district.
THE PURPOSE OF A REVALUATION PROGRAM is to secure the basis for attaining uniform and equitable assessments on all properties within the same classification and as among the several classifications of property in order to assure an equitable apportionment of the increasingly heavy local property tax burden among all the taxpayers within a taxing district.
PROFESSIONAL REVALUATION PROGRAMS are carried out in about 50 municipalities a year.
THE GOVERNING BODIES of those municipalities that have regularly revalued have faced up to their obligation to treat all property taxpayers uniformly and equitably.
