Home Property Tax Calculator
SEO-driven property tax platform turning municipal data into clear estimates. The application uses scraping methods to pull in state, county and local effective tax rates, median home values, and average property tax bills for current and past years, where available.
Problem
As a recent first-time homebuyer myself, I realized that roperty tax information is scattered across municipal websites and difficult to understand. Homebuyers and homeowners need quick, accurate estimates to make informed financial decisions, but existing tools are either too generic or require extensive manual research and comparisons across different locations are difficult to make, especially for first time homebuyers.
Approach
Developed a Next.js platform that aggregates municipal property tax data and presents it through an SEO-optimized, programmatic content strategy. Each location gets a dedicated page with interactive historical tax charts, clear breakdowns, and structured data (JSON-LD) for search engines. The site uses dynamic routing to scale across over a hundred locations, representing all counties in New Jersey with more states planned for release.
Key Features
Programmatic SEO with location-based pages, interactive tax visualization with Recharts, clear breakdowns by property value ranges, historical tax trend data, mobile-responsive design, fast page loads with Next.js optimization, and structured data for rich search results.
