Tax Assessor

General Information

The Tax Assessor’s Office is responsible for setting the value for each property located within the Borough. The Tax Assessor is also responsible for reviewing and approving all Senior Citizen’s and Veteran’s deductions.

The assessed value of your home can change for a variety of reasons including improvements made to the home or a consistent shift in the market. When market values have changed sufficiently throughout the community the County will notify the municipality that they must perform a re-evaluation (performed by an outside contractor) or reassessment (performed in-house). A reassessment was completed in Haddonfield for the 2008 tax year.

It has been almost twelve years since a reassessment was completed in the Borough of Haddonfield. New Jersey real estate taxation law mandates that all real estate be assessed at 100% of market value and there must be equalization among assessments.

Annually, the State of New Jersey, Division of Taxation, and the Camden County Board of Taxation complete a study of all the sales that have transacted in each community, including Haddonfield, and determine the relationship of assessed value to sale value for each usable sale.

It has been determined by the above mentioned agencies that the properties located within Haddonfield are currently assessed far below market value. The Camden County Board of Taxation has ordered a reassessment of the Borough to be completed and implemented by the 2008 tax year.

Some of the major forces responsible for causing inequity in assessments are inflation and neighborhood trends. As a consequence, all properties have not increased in value at the same rate since the last revaluation; hence, imbalances have been created.
