Tax Re-Assessment FAQs:

When will the results of the township-wide Re-Assessment be applied?
New property assessments resulting from the Re-Assessment become effective January 1, 2012. However, new assessments are not reflected in the tax bill until the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2012.

Is there an appeal process if I disagree with my assessed value?
If you are dissatisfied with your assessment, you can file a formal appeal in 2012 with the Essex County Board of Taxation, which must be received prior to May 1, 2012. Your appeal will be heard by a Commissioner of the Board of Taxation; and, you will be given an opportunity to state the reasons you believe your assessment is inaccurate. After reviewing the facts presented, the Board will render a decision as to whether an adjustment is in order.
