TAXES AND BILLING


TAX ASSESSMENT
It is important to understand that the Tax Assessor does not set the amount of taxes you pay. The Tax Assessor simply assesses the value of your property, as a function of the real estate market. Each year, the City of Somers Point completely reassesses approximately 20% of the municipality.

Residents of those neighborhoods will receive notification that field lister will be coming to their property. It is to your benefit to allow the field lister to review the inside of your property. Without specific information about the interior of your property, the assessment will be based on the most extensive construction utilized for the interior of your type of property.

The field lister will have official credentials. If you are concerned that someone is trying to gain entry into your house, who is not officially connected with the City of Somers Point, please call the Assessor's Office for verification at 927-9088 Ext. 127.
