An assessment is the value assigned to all property including land and buildings by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC). The assessed value of a property multiplied by the tax rate determines the taxes for each property. You can access the value of properties in your area through AboutMyProperty, a free, self-service application provided by MPAC.
The Town will issue a bill for property taxes on newly constructed homes after MPAC has assessed the new structure value. MPAC is able to assess the new construction for the current year plus the two previous years if it takes that long for MPAC to inspect the property. You will receive a separate tax bill for each year the property is assessed and payment will be due within the year billed for all supplementary bills. If you would like to estimate the supplementary taxes, please multiply the construction value of your home by the tax rate for the respective year.
If you have assessment questions or complaints, please contact the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) at 1-866-296-MPAC (6722). The deadline for filing a Request for Reconsideration (RfR) disputing your 2024 property assessment is April 2, 2024.
