Mission Statement:
To provide a fair and equitable base for distributing property taxes, to educate the public in the process and provide access to a wealth of information pertaining to real property and sales of real property.
Program Description:
Annually the Division of Assessments is responsible for accurately identifying, listing, and valuing all real property in the Village as well as defending the values. This requires the collection, interpretation and maintenance of data from numerous sources. Through the use of technology we are able to provide other departments and the public access to our database. The Division also administers numerous programs provided by New Jersey State Statutes including senior citizen, disabled persons and veterans tax deductions, farmland assessments, tax exemptions to eligible non-profit organizations, sales ratio, and annual assessment notifications. |

State of New Jersey Extends Deadline for Senior Freeze
The deadline for filing 2009 Senior Freeze (Property Tax Reimbursement) applications has been extended to Nov. 1. The current deadline is Aug. 2.
Residents should not confuse the Senior Freeze (Property Tax Reimbursement) with the Homestead Rebate Program. They are two distinct property tax relief programs with different eligibility requirements and separate applications. Filing for the Senior Freeze is going on right now, but filing for benefits under the Homestead Rebate Program will not begin until later in the year.
Applications for the Homestead Rebate program are scheduled to be mailed in the fall. To read the entire press release click here
Those who wish to enroll will need to obtain an application booklet (Form PTR-1). You may obtain additional information through one of the following methods.
