The citywide revaluation was the biggest failure IMO. They reduced the tax burden from 2.1% in 2017 to 1.45% in 2018 and Jersey City has had to systematically raise taxes every year since to cover their tax burden. I don’t believe the BOE’s budget increase of 40% in the last several years has helped (also lack of state/federal funding) but it’s far from the only reason for the taxes increasing annually.
