Where Does Your Haddonfield Property Tax Dollar Go? The 2026 Breakdown, Line by Line
Schools take the biggest slice, the county is next, and the borough itself gets less than a fifth. Here's the math on an average home.
Most of your Haddonfield property tax bill doesn't go to Borough Hall. Per the borough's 2026 breakdown, about 58 cents of every dollar goes to the Haddonfield School District, about 21 cents to Camden County, and about 19 cents to the borough's own budget. The rest funds open space and the library.
The 2026 rates
Haddonfield's total 2026 rate is 3.448 per $100 of assessed value. That's $3.448 for every $100 your home is assessed at. Here's how the borough splits it:
| Where it goes | Rate per $100 | Share of the levy |
|---|---|---|
| School taxes | 1.984 | 57.54% |
| County taxes | 0.712 | 20.66% |
| Local municipal purpose | 0.667 | 19.34% |
| Municipal library | 0.047 | 1.35% |
| County open space | 0.028 | 0.82% |
| Municipal open space | 0.010 | 0.29% |
| Total | 3.448 | 100% |
All in, the levy comes to about $84.3 million on $2.45 billion of assessed value, per the same table.

Why your assessment isn't your home's price
The breakdown lists Haddonfield's 2026 ratio as 70.95 percent. That's the state's measure of how assessments in town compare with market values. In plain terms, assessments here are running below what homes actually sell for. It matters if you ever appeal: the ratio is part of how an appeal gets judged. Our guide to property tax appeals in Camden County walks through it.
Who sets each piece
Each slice has its own budget and its own decision makers:
- Schools: the Haddonfield Board of Education adopts the district budget.
- County: the Camden County Board of Commissioners sets the county budget.
- Borough: the three Haddonfield commissioners adopt the municipal budget.
- Open space: these dedicated taxes go before voters. Camden County's open space question passed on Nov. 3, per our election results story.
So if you want to weigh in on the biggest part of your bill, the school budget hearings each spring are where it happens.
