Revaluation

Boro of Demarest

Project Status (as of October 14, 2024)
As directed by the Bergen County Board of Taxation and the New Jersey Division of Taxation, the Borough of New Demarest is reassessing all taxable real estate for the 2025 tax year to ensure uniform and equitable assessments. The Borough has entered into a contract with Appraisal Systems, Inc. to conduct the reassessment program.

The first step of the Reassessment process is the inspection of all properties in the Borough. In the upcoming months, inspectors from Appraisal Systems, Inc. will begin to 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 Appraisal Systems, Inc. to examine the interior of your property. The first visit from an inspector will be unannounced between the hours of 9:00am and 5:00pm. If the homeowner is not present on the first visit, the inspector will leave a card specifying a return date to do the interior inspection and will complete the exterior inspection of the property as it must be completed during daylight hours. The notice will also have a telephone number to call to reschedule this appointment if the time or date is not convenient.

Appraisal Systems, Inc. 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 that an interior inspection was made. Please advise the occupants of any rental units you may own so they are prepared for the inspection.

The field inspectors will a have protective mask to wear if requested by the property owner. A contactless interior inspection using a video conference during the first visit or a mutually convenient scheduled time will also be an available option.

Please call ASI with any inquiries regarding the inspection procedure or the reassessment process at (201) 493-8530.

Thank your for your cooperation during the reassessment process.
