Chatham Township Mails Preliminary Property Revaluation Letters to Residents
Township residents will soon begin to receive notices in the mail from Appraisal Systems Inc, the revaluation company under contract with Chatham Township to assist with the ongoing county-mandated townwide revaluation. These notices will begin to arrive in the coming days and will contain the preliminary assessment results for your property. A sample of the letter can be found at the end of this notice.
At the November 10, 2026 Township Committee Meeting, representatives of Appraisal Systems Inc. presented the preliminary assessment results of the revaluation to members of the public and the Township Committee and answered questions regarding them. This presentation can be watched in full directly on the Township YouTube Channel here.
In addition to preliminary assessment results, the letter will include contact information for Appraisal Systems should homeowners wish to meet with representatives of the company to discuss their findings. It will also include links to useful tools on their website such as the tax estimate calculator, neighborhood breakdowns, and townwide sales and assessment data.
The revaluation process first began following a December 2023 decision issued by the Morris Country Board of Taxation that compelled the Township of Chatham to begin a revaluation of all property in the municipality. Chatham Township’s last townwide revaluation was in 2004. On May 21, 2024, the Township Committee adopted Resolution 2024-128 to award a contract to Mott McDonald, the Township Engineering firm, to update existing tax maps and create new digital tax maps to serve as a base for the revaluation. The maps were approved by the State of New Jersey on May 30, 2025. On January 28, 2025, the Township Committee adopted Resolution 2025-058 to award a contract for the revaluation to Appraisal Systems, Inc. The purpose of the revaluation program is to fairly distribute the tax burden among all property owners based upon the market value of their property.
Residents with any questions about their property’s preliminary assessment are invited to contact Appraisal Systems representatives by accessing their website at www.asinj.com or by phone at 201-493-8530.
