RevaluationBoro of Franklin
Project Status (as of August 1, 2024)
The Sussex County Board of Taxation has directed the Borough of Franklin to undertake a Complete Reassessment Program beginning with tax year 2023 and continuing through 2028. This program will ensure uniform and equitable assessments throughout the municipality, account for recent changes in the real estate market, and significantly reduce costly tax appeals. The Township has contracted with Appraisal Systems, Inc. (ASI) to assist in conducting the Reassessment Program.
During 2023, 100% of all properties were inspected to establish the new assessments for Tax Year 2023. Then for the next 5 years after, 20% of the Borough properties will be inspected each year in order to maintain accurate records. Regardless of the % of properties inspected in a given year - ALL properties in the municipality will be reassessed each year so that current market valuations are maintained. This process helps alleviate any drastic changes in value over time. If your property has a unique condition that you feel influences the value, please send documentation to: Appraisal Systems, Inc., 17-17 Route 208N – Suite 210, Fairlawn, NJ 07410 – and it will be considered in the process. Regardless of when a property is visited during this program, the new property values for the 2025 tax year will be determined based on their estimated market value as of October 1, 2024 (the statutory date required by law). It is important to note that while only 25% of properties are being inspected each year; all properties in town will be valued based on recent trends determined from a review of sales and rental activity within the past year. All property owners will be notified by mail of their proposed assessed values and will have an opportunity to question/contest the values. Any inquiries with respect to the inspection and/or valuation procedure should be directed to Appraisal Systems, Inc. at (201) 493-8530.
