Two Middlesex County Towns Might Be Forced To Do Tax Revals

The Middlesex County Board of Taxation voted unanimously last Friday to order two towns to reevaluate proeprty values for tax purposes, NJ.com reported.

The towns that would undergo revals were not immediately disclosed.

"We're doing some fact-finding and some statistical analysis and by year end we will order two towns to schedule revaluations," Board President Richard Lorentzen told NJ.com.

Two towns have already been forced to do tax revals: South River and Dunellen. Those towns had not undergone property assessments in 30 and 33 years, respectively.

Under a reval, it's likely property taxes will go up for many homeowners in those towns. Property taxes may stay the same, or even go down, for others.

Here are the eight towns that could be selected, and the last year properties were assessed for tax reasons:

• Edison Township: 33 years ago in 1983
• Woodbridge Township: 30 years ago in 1986
• South Brunswick Township: 29 years ago in 1987
• Old Bridge Township: 44 years ago in 1972
• East Brunswick Township: 33 years ago in 1983
• South Plainfield: 30 years ago in 1986
• Middlesex borough: 30 years ago in 1986
• Highland Park: 26 years ago in 1990
