understanding NJ property tax administration (Union, Scotch Plains: 2014, assessment, county)

[sirk98]

HI all,

So I just moved into a SFH in union county. I just got a little card in the mail that, from what I can interpret, seems to say that my property value is flat in 2014, compared to 2013.

Does this mean taxes remain the same, or is there a separate rate decision that is made as well?

New to the NJ and SFH tax scene... Thanks in advance!

It just means the assessment is the same (not surprising as the towns don't re-assess very often and you probably haven't done anything which would trigger an adjustment); the rate is another matter.

does anyone know when Scotch Plains rates are typically published?

I believe the card you got is mainly used for tax purposes so you can write off your property tax for the year.
