ZIP Code 07621

In Cliffside Park (ZIP 07621), homes carry a median value of $491,500, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.60% translates into a substantial annual bill. Households here earn a median of $130,045, while per-capita income sits at $48,968, so the tax load lands differently depending on how many earners share a home. Combined with a 6.62% sales tax, carrying costs add up beyond the mortgage itself. Buyers weighing a purchase should factor the property levy into their monthly math early, since it scales directly with assessed value rather than income.
