Tax Assessment
The Assessor's Office is responsible for retaining all data that may reflect either the value or ownership of all property located in the Middletown Township. The following property information is available through the Tax Assessor's Office:
- Block and lot, property location, assessments, deed and sales information, map information (lot sizes, lot location, streets), tax rates, and tax ratio
- Subdivision Information - After approval by the Planning and Development Department
- The Assessor's Office divides the bulk block and lot into the number of lots involved in the division, making new line items and assessments
- Map corrections (street vacations, lots created)
- Variance list (for pools, sub-divisions, additions, etc.) notification to properties within 200 feet
Please note: Applications for variances are obtained in the Planning Department. Information for the variance list is obtained in the Assessor's Office.

2024 District-wide Annual Reassessment
The annual district-wide reassessment to 100% market value (“True Value” 1) is complete for tax year 2024.
Find your new property assessment. If you agree with the assessed value shown, you do not need to do anything.
If you disagree with the assessed value shown, you may file an appeal with the Monmouth County Board of Taxation. Forms, instructions and a guide to the process Understanding Property Assessment Appeals for Monmouth County are all available on the County's website. Assessment appeals filed with the Monmouth County Board of Taxation must be filed on or before January 15, 2024.
One week prior to the inspection, a notification card will be sent to each homeowner detailing the process. The inspections take place in groups of 1,000 and will be mailed throughout the year. If you have not received a letter, there is no need to contact the Assessor’s Office. The annual inspection cycle takes place in 5 year intervals and thus, your area may not be inspected this year. Appraisal Systems, Inc. will conduct the interior/exterior inspections throughout the Township. The inspectors will carry photographic identification visible at all times and wear shirts with company insignia. The inspectors will knock on the front door in an attempt to gain interior access to each property. If after repeated knocks the inspector finds the owner is not home, they are instructed to walk the property, measure the exterior and take a front and rear photo.
