Teaneck's median effective property tax rate ran approximately 2.05% (Ownwell) -- above New Jersey's own 1.88% statewide average -- with a median annual tax bill of approximately $10,940.
New Jersey's graduated income tax applies statewide
Teaneck carries no local income-tax layer; New Jersey's seven-bracket graduated income tax (1.4%-10.75% above $1 million) applies exactly as documented statewide in new-jersey.js.
A real, genuinely minor inland-flood consideration
Overpeck Creek and the Hackensack River are Teaneck's real local flood sources -- First Street models roughly 8.5% of properties at some 30-year flood risk, with about 30 properties affected by Hurricane Sandy's 2012 storm surge. This is genuinely minor relative to New Jersey's coastal markets, but confirm current FEMA flood-zone status directly for any property near these waterways.

- Teaneck's property tax rate (2.05%) runs above New Jersey's statewide average.
- New Jersey's graduated state income tax applies statewide, with no Teaneck-specific local layer.
