Woodbine has the lowest average property tax bill in South Jersey, and all seven counties come in under the New Jersey average of $10,340.

Short answer: Woodbine. The state's 2025 numbers put the average homeowner's property tax bill there at $2,101, the lowest of any South Jersey town in the state's report.

The New Jersey average for 2025 was $10,340. Every one of our seven counties came in under that. Here's each county's average bill, straight from the state's report:

  • Cumberland: $5,046
  • Cape May: $6,497
  • Salem: $6,912
  • Atlantic: $7,049
  • Camden: $7,766
  • Gloucester: $7,889
  • Burlington: $8,197

The lowest average bills in South Jersey:

  • Woodbine: $2,101
  • Camden: $2,167
  • Lower Alloways Creek Township: $2,601
  • Commercial Township: $3,010

The highest:

  • Tavistock: $38,393
  • Haddonfield: $17,761
  • Longport: $13,601
  • Chesterfield Township: $13,321

Before anybody panics about Tavistock, the state counts just 3 residential properties there. So it's less a town average and more three very specific tax bills. Haddonfield, with 4,113 counted, is the real top of the list.

Out of the 167 South Jersey towns the state gives a figure for, 19 are above the state average and 147 are below it. One lands right on it: Pilesgrove Township's average bill is $10,340, exactly the statewide number.

Keep in mind this is an average. Your own bill depends on your home's assessment, so your neighbor's bill and yours can be pretty far apart.
