Dear Property Owner:
The Township of Marlboro is one of several municipalities that have been ordered by the Monmouth County Board of Taxation to complete a revaluation of all properties. This order has been outstanding since 2004 and now must be satisfied. State law requires that all real estate be assessed at current market value. The objective is to ensure a fair and equitable distribution of the tax levy among all property owners. The new values will be used as a basis of the Township’s 2009 tax assessments.
The Township has engaged the firm of Realty Appraisal Company to assist with the revaluation of more than 14,000 residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Realty Appraisal Company is a firm highly skilled in mass appraisal techniques, with over fifty years of experience.
To accurately assess your property, a complete inspection of the interior and exterior of each building is necessary. Photographs of every structure in the Township will be taken. In certain instances where commercial and industrial properties are involved, other pertinent information may be required.
For your protection, each representative of Realty Appraisal Company will be provided with a letter of introduction and a photo ID. Please be sure to ask for both forms of identification and do not permit anyone who is unable to properly identify themselves to enter your property.
Prior to the results of the revaluation being accepted by the Assessor, each and every property owner will receive a notice of the value to be placed on their property. Upon request, the firm will then conduct a complete informal review of the property valuation with any taxpayer. Each notice will set forth the procedure to be followed for requesting a review.
To keep the public informed throughout the entire process, our office will be utilizing the Township website to post continued updates regarding the revaluation. Our website address is www.marlboro-nj.gov. A link on the Home Page will take you to the Tax Assessor’s revaluation data.
