Reassessment Information Available

 Value Notification letters have been mailed to all residential property owners.  If you wish to discuss your new 2012 assessed valuation with respect to the current estimated market value of your property, please call 1-800-994-1999 Monday through Friday from 10AM to 4PM in order to schedule an individual meeting.  Appointments must be scheduled before January 12, 2012.

 

Please be advised that Appraisal Systems Inc, the company contracted to assist the Assessor in the Reassessment has  provided some general information regarding the reassessment on its website: 

      

http://www.asinj.com/revaluation.asp?p=current&id=248

 

The 2012 tax rate will not be available until late summer 2012 so it is not possible to determine your new taxes at this time.  In an effort to help you understand the impact of the reassessment on your taxes, we have provided a worksheet on the Appraisal Systems Inc. website to estimate your taxes using the 2011 budget information.  Please be advised these estimates are based solely on the information we have from the 2011 budgets and are only an estimate, it is expected that the tax rate for 2012 will increase based on the 2012 budgets of the Board of Education, Township of Byram and the County of Sussex.

Please note that, if you are dissatisfied with the final conclusion of value, you will have until May 1, 2012 to file an appeal with either the Sussex County Tax Board or the Tax Court of NJ.  The May 1 appeal deadline applies only to a revaluation or reassessment year.

There are no recent bulletins posted for this office.
