Property Re-Valuation Information
Official Assessment Notice
Each year, Per Chapter 75 (N.J.S.A. 54:3-21), the Municipality mails each property owner a postcard near the end of January of that particular year. This statutory requirement is the property owner/taxpayer’s official notice of the assessed value of their property for the current tax year. It also is the official beginning of the appeal process.
IMPORTANT: The Assessment Notice (post card) is not intended to be used as evidence for income tax deductions. It is NOT a receipt for taxes. It contains the amount of TAX BILLED for the previous tax year. The amount of TAX BILLED may or may not be the amount of TAX ACTUALLY PAID. Because the card arrives near the time that other types of tax information documents arrive, it is often thought to be a receipt document, which it is not.
If a property owner does not agree with the assessment, the owner may confer with the Tax Assessor and/or file an appeal. The appeal deadline is normally April 1st of the tax year; however, if the municipality is subject to a revaluation or reassessment, the deadline is May 1st of the tax year.

Ongoing Property Inspections
Beginning in 2018, the Voorhees Township Assessment Department began inspecting all buildings on a four-year cycle. A four-year inspection cycle is a recommended minimum timeline per guidelines published by the International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO.) A four-year inspection cycle is also one of the requirements to obtain an approval for an annual reassessment program in New Jersey. Click here for the Ongoing Property Inspection Program.
Tax Assessment Appeals
FAQ – Should I file an Appeal? You cannot file an appeal because you think your taxes are too high, but only if you think your appraised value (assessment) is too high. Your appraised value should be no higher than the fair market value of your property, so before you decide to file an appeal you should know the market value of your property on the valuation date for New Jersey Tax Assessments. In Camden County, this is always October 1, of the “Pre-Tax” year. The appellant will be required to support that value using three to five sales of comparable properties. Below are links to a brochure with more information and to the appeal forms with instructions. Appeals may be filed both online and as mail-in paper applications.
