TAX APPEALS ON THE RISE, REVIEW PLANNED

Great story in the News-Record this week on the huge rise in tax appeals and its sparking a review of all tax rate assessments.

Read it HERE:

Maplewood residents who think they are paying too much in property taxes are filing a high number of tax appeals. The numbers used to determine how much they pay must be revised to avoid the appeals.

The Township Committee voted last week to spend $60,000 to hire Appraisal Systems Inc., the same company that did the 2011 revaluation. Mayor Vic De Luca said June 5 that, starting this fall, the firm will update property assessments based on sales data so revised numbers can go on the books for January.
