Assessment Value
The main function of the Assessor’s office is to value all property in the municipality for tax purposes. The ultimate goal is to assess the properties so all property owners will pay their fair share of the revenue needed to finance the schools, municipality and county government. The State Constitution requires all properties be assessed at “fair market” value. Therefore, it is essential to maintain assessments, keep up with market prices and cope with inflation. At times, market conditions warrant Revaluation or Reassessment programs to maintain “fair market value”.

If a homeowner feels that their property is over-assessed, they may file an appeal with the Mercer County Board of Taxation by calling (609) 989-6704. The annual deadline to file an appeal with the County Board is April 1. Note that appeals are based on the value of your property, not the taxes.
Assessments
Any questions concerning your assessment should be directed to the Tax Assessor. The Tax Collector is responsible for the billing and collection of taxes only. The Tax Assessor can be reached weekdays 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM at (609) 883-2900 x7661.
