Recently my neighborhood was re assessed and on this past Friday I received the information that has caused myself some concern. The Camden County Board of taxation has doubled the assessed value of my house which now has added well over 500.00 dollars a year to my property tax bill. This is totally beyond acceptability considering I have been working since I was 16 served 4 years in the US navy and have never been a burden to the system (employed for 30 years). I find it very hard to keep my loyalties to New Jersey when year after year Taxes grow faster than any salary increase I have ever had the opportunity to acquire.
Something needs to be done here.
I have made a appointment to review this issue on Wednesday the 17th locally in my town with the Tax Assessors.
I understand the game that is being played here since the Property Tax Bill was past limiting the rate increase to 2% per year, So why not raise the values of the property right?
As a constituent and voter I wanted to bring my opinion and concerns to your\’ attention.
Best Regards,
