Learn moreA genuinely favorable effective property tax rate
Lambertville's effective property tax rate is 1.902% -- genuinely lower than Hunterdon County's own broader average (approximately 2.18%) and only modestly above New Jersey's nation-leading 1.88% statewide average (see new-jersey.js). A median-assessed home produces an estimated $9,354 annual tax bill.
New Jersey's graduated income tax and uniform sales tax
New Jersey's graduated seven-bracket income tax (1.4%-10.75%) and uniform 6.625% sales tax both apply in Lambertville exactly as they do statewide, with no local add-on -- see new-jersey.js.
A real, material flood-insurance consideration
Given Lambertville's real, dated Delaware River flood history (1903, 1936, a record 1955 event, and 2004-2006 events), flood insurance is a real, material, additional cost for river-adjacent properties specifically, distinct from a standard homeowners policy -- confirm current flood-zone status and premium costs directly.
