Assessor

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”.

Assessment notices will be mailed in late January or early February. Upon receiving the Tax Assessment Notice Postcard, please review your last and current year assessments for correctness. 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 or referring to the links on the bottom of this page. 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 may be reviewed between October 1st and December 15th of the pre-tax year. Assessment Review Form file.
