How these numbers are made

Property tax: the state's 2025 general tax rate for Roselle Park Boro, 4.506 per $100 of assessed value (borough, county, school and open space combined), applied to the 2026 average residential assessment of $253,477 = about $11,422 a year; expressed as 2.1189% of the $539,045 average sales price so the page reproduces that figure (the state's 2.521% effective rate would give about $13,590).
Water: New Jersey American Water Rate Schedule A-1 for Service Area 2, same rates as Linden; typical 5,743 gallons a month from the BPU order.
Sewer: the borough charges $5.00 per 100 cubic feet of annual water use (4th-quarter reading x4), modeled at the 5,743 gallons a month typical use = about $460 a year, billed separately by the borough and shown as a flat yearly amount. The 2026 ordinance text was an introduced draft; the $5.00 rate matches the 2025 code.
Electric: PSE&G Rate Schedule RS and gas: Elizabethtown Gas residential rates, as in the Linden model; Garbage: collected by the borough with no fee found in the sources.
Insurance: statewide NAIC average premium (2022) from the Insurance Information Institute.
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
