Sell City Land to Lower the Tax Hike: A Better Path Through Jersey City’s Budget Crisis
Dozens of residents spoke out against a planned 20% (now 15%) tax hike at the June 25, 2026 meeting of the Jersey City Municipal Council. The public demanded that City leadership re-examine potential revenue sources, alternate means of funding, and any other proposal that could ease the burden on city taxpayers. One suggestion that emerged is the possibility of Jersey City selling parcels of city-owned property as a way to increase revenue.
