ANNOUNCEMENTS
from the TAX ASSESSMENT OFFICEIn November you received your 2022 Assessment Postcard via mail from the Monmouth County Tax Board. We wanted to take this opportunity to provide some background on what is occurring with property assessments in the Borough of Interlaken and how it effects the Borough's tax rate.
For the tax year 2022, the aggregate value of the Borough of Interlaken will be 22% higher than it was in 2021. This does not mean your taxes will go up 22%. It means that the overall value of your properties has increased. The valuation of all the properties within the Borough and the tax rate are proportional. If the Borough valuation increases, the tax rate decreases. We anticipate that the 2022 tax rate will be much lower than the 2021 tax rate due to these increased property values. If your assessment has increased less than the baseline (less than 22%), you will pay a lesser proportionate share of the Borough's tax levy in 2022. The assessment function serves as the distribution mechanism of the property tax levy which is a combination of municipal, school and County taxes. Since taxes are intended to be split up amongst the property owners based on the market value of the properties, it is critical that the assessment process is uniform, accurate, fair and transparent. Additional information on Assessments and Appeals can be found on the Tax Assessor page of the Borough website. You should contact the Tax Assessor if you believe that your new assessment does not accurately reflect the market value of your property. Please note that assessments are based on real estate sales of properties within the Borough of Interlaken. PLANNING BOARD MEETING SCHEDULE
