The setting. The building. The next chapter.
Begin with the particular address: the published bus route, the building as it stands, and the changes being considered. These are useful starting points for a purchase, a sale or a renovation conversation.
Connection
Coach USA’s Rockland Coaches schedule page lists Demarest on Routes 20 and 20T to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, and shows Route 14 as no service until further notice. The Borough’s ordinances page posts Ordinance 1108-22, which permits and regulates all-night on-street parking.

Context
The Joint Planning Board page carries the zoning map and the new Chapter 175 zoning code, Ordinance 1180-26, passed on final reading May 11, 2026. The Borough Historian’s page counts the railroad and fire station among the buildings that recall Demarest’s past.
Possibility
A renovation begins with the existing building and a clear scope. Demarest’s Building Department takes zoning applications by email, requires a Rental/Resale Certificate and inspection before a sale or rental, and links the State’s UCC permit forms; bring the property’s records and proposed work into that discussion early.
Service Areas
Demarest first. Northern Valley fluent.

Demarest in the Division of Taxation’s tables.
What the State publishes about residential property tax in Demarest, taken from the New Jersey Division of Taxation’s own tables for tax year 2025 and its 2026 assessment list. Averages describe the municipality, not any one home; a given property’s bill is its own assessment times the rate.

Figures as published by the New Jersey Division of Taxation: 2025 General Tax Rates by County and Municipality, 2025 Average Residential Statistics and 2026 Average Residential Statistics, read 13 September 2026. In the Division’s own definitions, the general tax rate is the multiplier used to determine the tax levied on each property, expressed as $1 per $100 of taxable assessed value, and is the rate a bill is computed from; the effective tax rate is a statistical comparison of one district with another on the assumption that all are assessed at full value, and is not to be used to compute a bill. The sales row counts the residential sales the Division tabulated for the year and their average price, which is not a median and not a market report. The 2026 figure is the assessment list against which the 2026 rate will be struck once the county certifies it. The same figures for all fifteen town pages are published as data at /data/town-tax.json.
