Property Reassessment Process Continues

Inspectors from Appraisal Systems will continue on with the property reassessment process this month.

Mike Kronyak, borough administrator, reported Tuesday during the work session meeting that the inspectors have already  completed about 500 homes since the process began last month. Each month the borough receives a monthly report from the inspectors which is also filed with the Bergen County tax assessors office. 

Once the process is complete the borough will receive a report once it’s been filed with the state, Kronyak explained. The new assessments will be used for 2012 tax bills.

As reported previously, in order to ensure that properties are assessed fairly as there have been a record number of tax appeals and foreclosures in the borough.

Officials have stated that the majority of the process will be to the exterior of homes but there will be some random indoor inspections. that they can contact the police department to verify if they are unsure of anyone who comes to the door. The police department has the names and photographs of the authorized Appraisal Systems inspectors and can verify them if the need arises.
