Revaluation

Boro of Ramsey

The Bergen County Board of Taxation and the New Jersey Division of Taxation have directed the Borough of Ramsey to undertake an annual Reassessment Program beginning with the tax year 2025 and continuing through 2030. This program will ensure uniform and equitable assessments throughout the municipality, account for the recent changes in the real estate market and significantly reduce the costly tax appeals experienced in the past. The Borough has contracted Appraisal Systems, Inc. (ASI) to assist in conducting the Reassessment Program.

Following this initial assessment where 100% of the properties will be inspected, only 20% of the properties will be inspected each successive year. It is important to note that while only 20% of properties will be inspected each year, all properties in town will be reassessed to ensure current valuations are maintained. This process helps ensure that drastic changes in value are avoided.

The first step of the reassessment process is the inspection of all properties in the Borough. In the coming months inspectors from ASI will visit all properties, measuring and photographing the exteriors of all buildings and inspecting the interiors. In order to properly assess your property, it will be necessary for a representative of ASI, Inc. to examine the interior of your property. The first visit from an inspector will be between the hours of 9:00am and 5:00pm. If the homeowner is not present at the first visit, the inspector will leave a card specifying a return date to do the interior inspection. The notice will also have a telephone number to call to reschedule this appointment if the time or date is not convenient.

ASI representatives will carry photo identification and their names will be registered with the Police Department and the Borough Clerk’s office. Please do not allow anyone to enter your home without proper identification. You will be requested to sign the field form used by the representative to acknowledge when an interior inspection is made. Please advise the occupants of any rental units you may own so they are prepared for the inspection. Contactless interior inspections using a video conference will be available at the request of the property owner.

Regardless of when a property is visited during this program, the new property values will be determined based on their estimated market value as of October 1, 2024 (the statutory date required by law). All property owners will be notified by mail of their proposed assessed values and will have an opportunity to question/contest the values.

If your property has a unique condition that influences value (i.e., flooding or easements), please send documentation to Appraisal Systems, Inc., 17-17 Route 208 N, Suite 210, Fairlawn, NJ 07410 and it will be considered.
