I escaped NJ just as Governor DeSantis won his first term in 2018. I was in process of retiring and knew I could not afford to do so in NJ with the constant tax increases, especially property taxes. The small 1,400 sf home I left was costing me $6,200 a year in property taxes. I bought a newer, larger 2,000 sf home with property taxes less than half that. This year I looked up the taxes on my former home, now $9,800. Meanwhile thanks to FL’s Homestead Exemption my taxes actually dropped $300 this year.
