New Jersey A539 allows municipalities to issue two separate property tax bills and requires fire districts, school districts, and county governments.

New Jersey A539, known as the "Transparent Tax Act of 2015," permits municipalities to issue two separate property tax bills to property taxpayers. One bill details the amount of property taxes due for municipal purposes, while the other lists the amount due for county, school, fire district, and other special district purposes. This act aims to provide clarity to local property taxpayers by clearly separating the tax amounts for different purposes.
