Trenton is New Jersey's capital city and has the highest property tax rates in Mercer County. However, as one of NJ’s cheapest cities, the higher tax rate is somewhat offset.
With about 84,000 residents, it's the largest city in the county. You'll find government buildings, cultural attractions, and urban amenities. The higher taxes fund city services, schools, and infrastructure maintenance.
Homes in Trenton average in the mid-$200s, but the higher-than-average tax rate is still something to factor into your budget.
