Tax Assessment Appeals

Property owners who feel that their assessed value does not reflect a true market value are encouraged to contact the Assessor’s office to discuss their assessed value. Up to date sales information is always readily available for public review to assist the owner in educating them on the recent market trends in which they may not be aware of throughout the district. After contacting the Assessor’s office and reviewing the sales information, if the owner still disagrees with their assessment, they have the right to file an appeal with the Middlesex County Board of Taxation on or before April 1st. Please be advised that the basis for filing an appeal is the disagreement upon the value of the property and not the yearly taxes paid on the property.

Disabled Veteran Exemption

Effective December 4, 2020, State law (P.L. 2019, c. 413) eliminates the wartime service requirement for the 100% Totally and Permanently Disabled Veterans Property Tax Exemption. Veterans must have active duty military service with an honorable discharge. Reservists and National Guard personnel must be called to active duty service to qualify. Active duty for training continues to be ineligible.

If you are an honorably discharged veteran who was 100% permanently and totally disabled during active duty service, you may qualify for an annual property tax exemption on your principal or primary residence (main home).

If you are a surviving spouse or civil union/domestic partner of an honorably discharged veteran who was 100% permanently and totally disabled during active duty service, you also may qualify.
