TOWNSHIP REASSESSMENT INFORMATION
Dear Property Owner,
It has been almost twelve (12) years since a reassessment was completed in the Township of Springfield New Jersey. Real estate taxation law mandates that all real estate be assessed at 100% of market value and there must be equalization among assessments.
Annually, the State of New Jersey, Division of Taxation, and the Burlington County Board of Taxation complete a study of all the sales that have transacted in each community, including the Township of Springfield, and determine the relationship of assessed value to sale value for each usable sale.
It has been determined by the State and County agencies that the properties located within the Township of Springfield are currently not assessed at market value. The Burlington County Board of Taxation has ordered a reassessment of the Township to be completed and implemented by the 2027 Tax Year.
Some of the major forces responsible for causing inequity in assessments are inflation and neighborhood trends. As a consequence, all properties have not increased in value at the same rate since the last reassessment; hence, imbalances have been created.
We have prepared this brochure to help you understand the process that takes place during a reassessment program. In addition, it is an attempt to answer some basic questions and to clear up common misconceptions.
For further information about the reassessment, please contact the Tax Assessor at 609-723-2464 ext.19 or visit the Township’s website at www.springfieldtownshipnj.org. Thank you for your cooperation in helping my office complete this reassessment program.
Sincerely,
Richard Buscemi, CTA
