What is the deadline for assessors to notify each taxpayer of their current assessment and preceding year's taxes?

The correct deadline for assessors to notify each taxpayer of their current assessment and the preceding year’s taxes is February 1. This date is established by New Jersey law to ensure that all property owners are promptly informed of their assessments. This timely notification allows taxpayers to review their assessments and consider any necessary actions, such as filing an appeal, if they believe their assessment is incorrect.

Understanding the context of property tax assessments is important; it helps maintain transparency and fairness in the taxation system. New Jersey’s requirement for notification by February 1 is aimed at providing property owners with sufficient time to prepare for any grievances and better manage their financial responsibilities related to property tax.

Other options, while possibly relevant to different aspects of the tax assessment or notification process, do not reflect the specific requirement set by New Jersey law regarding the notification of assessments to taxpayers.
