Assessment

 The County Tax Board by resolution establishes the percentage of true value at which all real property in the county must be assessed.

The Board reviews and certifies the Equalization Table. 

Calculation of Tax Rates

Annually the Tax Administrator prepares the County Abstract of Ratables (or Table of Aggregates) to calculate the tax rate for each municipality within the county. 

The Board reviews and certifies the tax rates.

Computer Taxation System

Under the New Jersey Property Tax System (MOD IV), the County Tax Board, in cooperation with the municipalities, supplies and maintains the computer taxation system utilized by assessing officers within the county.
