Fair Haven, Little Silver and Shrewsbury Borough have been ordered by the Monmouth County Tax Board to conduct revaluations of property this year, said Stephen Walters, Tax Assessor for the three towns. The last revaluation was done in 2002.
A revaluation (rather than a reassessment) is ordered either when ten years has passed or when the ratio between Market Value and Assessed Value has dropped under 80 percent. Monmouth County Tax Board data show that Fair Haven's ratio is 77.02 percent, Little Silver is 77.40 percent and Shrewsbury's is 74.72 percent for 2011.
A revaluation does not mean a homeowner's taxes will go up. Generally, taxpayers of the most severely under assessed properties before a revaluation will pay a greater share of the tax burden after a revaluation. Likewise, taxpayers of overvalued properties will pay a smaller share of the town's taxes after the revaluation. Here's a link to the State of New Jersey's Division of Taxation official consumer brochure explaining the process. http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/pdf/lpt/revaluation.pdf
Fair Haven's former Mayor Michael Halfacre announced last fall that the borough's Council "determined it is not in the best interest of the taxpayers" to allow the revaluation. Officials in Shrewsbury and Little Silver decided to proceed with the revaluations, according to Walters.
"It's the dynamics. Some towns fight them off, others feel it's in best interest to make (tax burden distribution fair," Walters said. "No one will step up and say they like taxation, but there is some comfort level if people know there's a uniformity in assessments."
After the company that will be hired analyzes the data collected, property owners will get their opportunity to look at the results and correct any physical errors in the inspectors' findings, Walters said.
"Many times the meetings with owners is to confirm facts, such as how many bedrooms there are," he said. "If there is a question during the meeting, the firm will send someone to the property (to verify) and make a correction."
The specific assessment for a property is not addressed in those meetings, he said. Just the facts of the house's physical attributes is verified. An appeal for the $$ assessed would be addressed by filing a tax appeal in county tax court.
I urge homeowners to take an hour to visit Borough Hall when the opportunity is given to verify the accuracy of their home's information. We'll be tracking the progress of notifications for these towns and will keep you posted. In the meantime, if you would like more information or a copy of the State's informative brochures, just give me a call for same-day response.

I take all calls directly 7 days a week at 732-768-1068. As a resident since 1972, I can offer you keen market insight as well as hard work.
My Local Knowledge Is Your Advantage
My keen "market intelligence" gives you the advantage when buying or selling a home. I love my job and work hard to accomplish my clients' goals, whether that is finding a new home or selling their property.
Repeat business and referrals from past customers make up more than 2/3 of my business and that tells me I am doing a good job for my clients......
I am happy to say I have had real estate attorneys, mortgage brokers and six seven eight other Realtors ask me to represent them in the sale or purchase of their own properties, several more than once - that's a vote of confidence I really appreciate. These folks know every Realtor and their trust is greatly appreciated.
I hope to bring a high level of professionalism and strategic management ability to real estate transactions. I've been a Realtor for over 15 years. Prior to real estate, I was Director and Vice President of Operations in two large healthcare organizations for 26 years and bring those skills to manage multiple details simultaneously. I think my background comes in handy in the critical moments of deal-making. After 26 years in healthcare operations crises, keeping cool under pressure is my strong suit.
I've lived here for 39 years and I have an in-depth knowledge of the area and a particular affinity for the waterfront towns of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. A swimmer, surfer and sailor, I have useful knowledge and insight for buyers and sellers of waterfront property.
I love first time buyers and enjoy the hunt and the opportunity to guide them to a place they love where they can expect to increase property values in the future. Right now I'm seeing lots of singles buy their first properties as singles - it's fantastic!
Call me with your referrals - I take all calls directly 7 days a week. I promise to treat your clients as you would want. You'll never wonder if your referral will "go to waste" or what's happening with your deal on my side.
I specialize in the towns bordering the ocean and the majestic Navesink River..... Red Bank, Fair Haven, Rumson, Sea Bright, Navesink and the surrounding towns of Shrewsbury, Little Silver, Holmdel, Monmouth Beach, Long Branch, Eatontown, Asbury Park, Colts Neck and Tinton Falls. I recently joked to a friend that I know these streets so well that I could deliver pizzas up and down the Jersey Shore.
This is a beautiful place to live and I think that every day as I drive around. We have riverfront condos ranging from one bedroom water view residences for $139.900 up to luxury waterfront condos at 2 million and everything in between. We also have magnificent riverfront and oceanfront estate homes, priced from 2 million to 19 million.

What saved us time is your knowledge of the market - you know every street and the whys and why nots. We laughed when things got tough during negotiations, your easygoing demeanor doesn't hint at the wickedly smart strategist you really are. We lucked out in finding you." Suzanne and Tom, on the purchase of their Oakhurst home.
