Vision Statement
Our vision is to be a model of appraisal and assessment administration with a reputation for delivering uniform, objective, and accurate assessments that meet statutory requirements and guidelines. We will satisfy our taxpayers/customers with courteous, timely and professional service at all times.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to administer the Borough of Glen Ridge's Tax Assessor's Office in a manner that assures public confidence in our accuracy, unbiased and objectivity in providing fair and equitable valuations of all real property. The State of New Jersey Constitution, Statutes, Administrative Code and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices will guide our mission.
Within the framework of N.J.S.A. 54:3-16, 54:4-23 & 54:4-26, the Tax Assessor operates under the guidance of the Director of the Division of Taxation and the County Board of Taxation. Accordingly, the governing body has no right whatsoever to influence the Tax Assessor as to valuation and assessment method since the responsibilities of the Tax Assessor are independent of Municipal Government control.
We are dedicated to effective and efficient governmental service when performing assessment functions. We will continually improve quality and excellence by:
- Providing the essential training and skills to employees, enabling competent performance;
- Encouraging employee self development, motivation, and participation;
- Fostering open communication and teamwork;
- Focusing on continual improvement of processes, systems and technology;
- Providing the necessary resources to meet these goals.
