Property taxes in SE Morris County

I've heard that the property taxes in Harding Township, Morris County, NJ are pretty reasonable compared to other towns in this area.  The map below shows the 2015 taxes paid for several municipalities in southeast Morris County, including

• Chatham Borough
• Chatham Township
• Harding Township
• Long Hill Township
• Madison Borough

Reds are the highest taxes and light aqua are the lowest.  For 0 tax parcels, I've coded them by use, and this time put in a legend.   The lot sizes in Harding are quite large, so while they do pay low taxes on a per acre basis,  taxes are still not so cheap.  The low tax parcels tend to be classified as farm land.  The other interesting thing to note is just how much open space there is in this part of Morris County. Pretty nice.
