What eastern Bucks County towns have lower tax rates?

I won't have children in school so I'm not interested in better schools, I'm looking in the $850k and up price range. Easy commute to the Princeton are is key.

I understand how Real Estate Taxes are calculated, my question relates to if there are certain towns that are notorious for higher taxes and some that historically have been better. In NJ there are towns just a few miles apart that could have 30% to 40% differences in taxes for identical homes.

William,
I appreciate your comments
My direct answer to Phil's question is by no mean to hold information from anyone, I searched the area close enough to Phil's commute to Princeton and came up with a list of properties in his price range that will help him decide not only on the area but the distance he is willing to travel to save even more on taxes by single property not just towns, Lee posted the bucks county millage chart ( thank you Lee!), however the property assesments are different from one another.
please view this link ie

Hello William,
You are right. Follow this link. There is a list of all tax millage rates (what the townships used to figure out taxes) for all the townships in Bucks County.
Hope this helps. http://www.buckscounty.org/government/departments/Finance/Bo…

Lee and Hadjer - why not post some information here so that everyone can benefit from your knowledge? The community benefits when you communicate publicly, private emails benefit only you. Would love to see some of your insight here!

I'm in Quakertown - curious where we rank tax-wise

Hi Phil,
I would to discuss your needs further. How big of a house are you looking for? Age? How much land?
Each township has a different rate for taxes. I would be more than happy to assit you. Feel free to email me at LeeStiber@kw.com and take a tour of my website where you can search for homes and compare the taxes of them.
