The Gloucester County Board of Taxation's mission is to ensure equity of assessments among all County Taxpayers. This falls into two major categories, administrative and appellate as governed by Title 54 of the New Jersey Statues.

Administratively, the County Tax Administrator, under the supervision and control of the County Board of Taxation, shall be responsible for the administrative functions of the board, and, pursuant to such supervision and control, shall direct all officers (assessors) charged with the duty of making assessments for taxes in every taxing district in the county; the Equalization Table determines each municipality's share of the tax burden and disseminate tax rates for all twenty four municipalities; prepare a summary, referred to as an Abstract of Ratables of taxable properties and tax obligation of each municipality; and achieve equalization by examining every deed filed to determine the relationship between the sale price and assessment so that the ratio of assessment can be established for apportionment of taxes.

In the Appellate category, the Board is the forum for formal objections of tax assessments. If you wish to file an appeal on your tax assessment, you must contact the Gloucester County Board of Taxation (384-6945) for a Petition of Appeal. This petition must be received by the County Tax Board on or before April 1 st of the tax year. If improvements, Added/Omitted Assessments , are made during a tax year you may file a petition of appeal on or before December 1 st of the tax year. These petitions include detail instructions and a pamphlet titled "PROPER PREPARATION FOR TAX APPEAL HEARINGS"
