WHY:
Today, the City of
Bridgeton announced commencement of its revaluation of all taxable property
within the City for the 2015 tax year. The City has contracted Tyler Technology
to conduct the revaluation program; a brochure explaining the process was
mailed to taxpayers last week. The purpose of the revaluation, the City’s first
since 1993, is being conducted to ensure uniform and equitable tax assessments
of all property.
Inspectors from Tyler
Technologies will begin the process of physical inspection of all properties
this week. Tyler Technologies will be measuring and photographing the exteriors
of the buildings and inspecting home interiors. Inspections will begin in the
city’s Third Ward, near Bridgeton High School, and will systematically progress
through the City over the summer months. Inspections are expected to conclude
in September, 2014.
All inspectors will be
clearly identified with bright safety vests bearing the company name and will
have photo identification. Additionally, inspectors’ names and vehicles are on
file with the city, including the police department. Please do not allow anyone
to enter your home without proper identification. If residents have concerns
about the person identifying him or herself as a revaluation inspector, they
are asked to call Tyler Technologies Toll-Free (1-844-370-3515), or the
Bridgeton Police Department (856-451-0033), to verify the location and identity
of inspectors.
Upon completion of data
gathering and valuation, property owners will be notified of their preliminary
property valuation, as well as procedures to review the assessment with an
appraiser from Tyler Technologies in November 2014.
Inquiries with respect to
the inspection procedure should be directed to Tyler Technologies at
