Tax Appeals

The final deadline to file county and state appeals has passed as it was set at July 1, 2020 by legislation (Bill A4157) signed by Governor Murphy and so if you wish to file an appeal you must wait until 2021.

If you require a copy of your new Property Record Card, you must submit an OPRA request form to the office of the Borough Clerk.  You can find the OPRA form on this site as well.  If you have any further questions regarding your assessment, you may email the Borough Assessor, Tim Henderson, at thenderson@hawthornenj.org
