Does anyone know any place in Northern New Jersey were the property taxes are not sky high?

Asked by philosopher (9065points) December 25th, 2009

My Son attends a private ABA school in Northern NJ. I wish he could also attend their Adult Program . We live in Staten Island. I do not trust the Programs here.
I know more about working with Autistic people than all the NYC Teachers and Psychologist I have met. I simply distrust what the Programs are telling me. They dislike my questions. They seem to fear my intelligence .
The NYC Public schools do not do ABA( Applied Behavioral Analysis ) . People that are not familiar with it fear us that are. They know no matter how much they attempt to deny it our method is appropriate and works. When the Adult Program Social workers here where my Son goes they BS me. They become uncomfortable when I am not dumb. Can anyone help me?
I know some good Teachers really care. Like the ones in my Son’s school. Please help if you can.
I can not even find anyone to help over this long break .

The title of your question and the details seem like 2 different questions.

One of the reasons NJ’s property taxes are do high is because of the educational programs. I hear that many people move here specifically for the services available to autistic kids. Towns with better school programs generally have higher taxes.

Property taxes also vary according to location… so the closer you are to NYC, the higher the taxes. The cleaner and safer the town is, the higher the taxes.

If you want to know about ABA programs for autistic adults in the NYC metro area, the question header should indicate that. I do not know anything about those programs, so I can not give you advice there.

Good luck to you and your son!

You’ll have to check to confirm, but I thought that I heard that property taxes are lower in Paramus, NY (Bergen Country) because they get so much revenue from the shopping malls.
