Property taxes in Middlesex County
Edison Township carries a 2025 general tax rate of 5.725 per $100 of assessed value, with an equalization ratio of 35.12% and an effective tax rate of 2.005%, per the Middlesex County Board of Taxation's 2025 abstract of ratables. On a $2,000,000 building, assessed value runs near $702,400, and the general rate produces a tax bill of about $40,212 a year. Owners who sell commercial real estate in Edison, NJ should also budget New Jersey's realty transfer fee, $21,675 on that same $2,000,000 price; the state's graduated 1% supplemental fee applies only to Class 4A commercial parcels, not apartment buildings, so it adds nothing here.
Landlord rules for Edison owners
Edison Township runs its own Rent Control Board under Chapter 17 of its code, since New Jersey leaves rent control to municipal choice rather than setting a statewide cap. Rental facilities with five or more units must register and license each unit annually for $100 per unit, per that same chapter. Statewide, N.J.S.A. 46:8-19 et seq. caps a security deposit at 1.5 times one month's rent and requires its return within 30 days after the lease ends. Sellers should hand buyers a current Edison rental license and deposit ledger at closing.
What it means for an owner
Edison's mix of renter demand, older stock and a local rent control board gives sellers a clear data set to price against. Owners ready to sell commercial property in Edison, NJ can model a deal with Skyline Capital Investments' cap rate calculator before talking price.

Edison Seller FAQ
How do I sell commercial property in Edison, NJ?
Gather the rent roll, Edison's current rental license, the deposit ledger and 2025 tax bill, then compare in-place rents with Edison's $1,974 ACS median and HUD's $2,623 two-bedroom FY2027 fair market rent before requesting offers.
What should buyers check before selling commercial property in Edison?
Buyers confirm the Edison rental license is current under Chapter 17, since units cannot legally rent without one, then check the 2025 general tax rate of 5.725 per $100 assessed and the 35.12% equalization ratio against the asking price.
What do buyers weigh when I sell commercial real estate in Edison, NJ?
Buyers compare Edison's $1,974 median gross rent with HUD's $2,623 FY2027 two-bedroom fair market rent, a 32.9% gap, then layer in the 32.2% of renters already paying 30% or more of income on rent each month.
Does Edison have rent control?
Yes. Edison Township runs its own Rent Control Board under Chapter 17 of its code rather than following a state cap, since New Jersey leaves rent regulation to municipal choice. Buyers underwriting an Edison purchase check current rents against that board's records.
How much of Edison housing sits in larger apartment buildings?
ACS 2020-2024 counts 11,594 Edison homes in buildings of five or more units, 29.6% of the township's 39,225 units. Renters occupy 39.4% of Edison's 38,098 occupied homes, giving owners a sizable comparison set of similar buildings.
What if my Edison building has vacancies or deferred maintenance?
That is often where we add the most value. We buy buildings that need renovation, new management, or lease-up, and we account for that in our offer.
Can I sell my Edison apartment building off-market?
Yes. We work directly with owners and through listing agents. Off-market conversations are confidential, and we coordinate tours so tenants and staff are not disrupted.
Is it possible to sell rental property in Edison without evicting tenants?
It is. We buy apartment buildings occupied, and tenants stay on their current leases. Skyline Capital Investments is a commercial real estate buyer of 5+ unit buildings, so occupied properties are the norm for us.
Do I need a broker to sell my apartment building in Edison?
No. You can work with us directly, or your broker can bring the deal to us. Either way, conversations stay confidential.
