The Borough of Elmwood Park was ordered to conduct a mandatory revaluation by the NJ State Division of Taxation. The Borough has contracted with ASI and has met all statutory requirements during the process. When completed, the result will be a uniform ratable base ensuring that all assessments are fair and equitable.

The Elmwood Park revaluation is revenue neutral and the outcome will result in uniformity across all properties. Thank you for your cooperation during this process.
