REVALUATION UPDATE

Now that inspections are complete and property files revised, the township’s fair market value program is nearing its end. The last component of the project entails a mass mailing to all township property owners. The notice will include pertinent information including the property location, its tax Block and Lot and, most importantly, the new proposed assessment. This mailing is slated to go out during the last two weeks of November.

Any resident/property owner who wishes to discuss the proposed assessment may do so during the month of December. Appointments will be scheduled for you when you call the township telephone number printed in the assessment notice.

I am pleased to report that the inspection phase of the work was completed with very little controversy. Southampton’s residents were open and understanding. If resident relations during the information gathering stage are an indicator, I expect that the overall market valuation project will prove successful.

This has been an in-house project coordinated by Southampton’s tax assessor. Comments or concerns regarding any property tax matter may be directed to the township assessor’s office at 859-3235.

Dennis De Klerk, Assessor
