When does the Notice of Assessment need to be mailed by the Assessor?

The correct timing for mailing the Notice of Assessment is crucial for ensuring that property owners are aware of their assessed property values and can respond within the appropriate timeframe. In New Jersey, the Notice of Assessment must be sent by the Assessor by February 1st. This date is critical as it allows property owners a chance to review their assessments and address any discrepancies before the tax collection process begins.

Mailing the notice by February 1st ensures that residents are notified in a timely manner about their property assessment and provides them with an opportunity for appeal if they disagree with the assessment. This process is governed by specific regulations to promote transparency and fairness in property taxation. Understanding this timeline is essential for both assessors and property owners to ensure compliance with local tax regulations.
