Ventnor Prepares for City Wide Reassessment

The Atlantic County Board of Taxation wants Ventnor to complete a city-wide reassessment. The tax oriented inspections would need to be completed by Sept. 30, 2016.

Ventnor Tax Assessor Diane Kelly said new assessments will be on the books and the new tax rates will kick in for the 2017 tax year. The reassessment could cost between $300,000 and $500,000 to complete.

New, certified tax maps are the first step. Ventnor’s existing tax maps were last updated in 1988. The updated maps are almost finished…..and will be submitted for state approval. Property inspections will be done during spring & summer of 2016.
