Glen Ridge Property Revaluation Information

We understand that the upcoming property revaluation may raise questions and concerns within our community.  Our goal is to provide clear, factual information to ensure transparency and accessibility throughout this process.

The revaluation program, mandated by the Essex County Board of Taxation, is designed to reflect the current market values of properties. This ensures fair and equitable taxation without increasing the total amount of taxes collected by Borough of Glen Ridge.  Instead, it redistributes the total tax levy based on updated market values.

Key Points to Note:

• The revaluation is ordered by the Essex County Board of Taxation, not by the Borough of Glen Ridge.
• A revaluation is tax levy neutral and does not generate additional revenue for the Borough. The total tax levy is determined by the County, Municipal, and School budgets.
• A revaluation does not automatically result in a change to a property’s annual taxes. Individual property taxes may increase, decrease, or remain the same, depending on updated fair market values.

For More Information
A list of frequently asked questions is available on the Borough of Glen Ridge Municipal Assessor’s website to help clarify the revaluation process.

For inspection scheduling issues and general inquiries regarding the revaluation, please contact Professional Property Appraisers directly at 1-866-957-1388 or visit www.ppareval.com.

While we encourage community engagement, we kindly ask that inquiries about the revaluation process be directed to the revaluation company rather than the Borough, as they are best equipped to assist with these matters.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work through this process together.
