Hillsdale Residents Should Check Revaluation Info, Officials Say

Property revaluations are currently underway in Hillsdale, and officials are recommending that residents check the information on their homes' assessments to ensure they are correct.

Mayor Max Arnowitz mentioned during a council meeting this week that a previous revaluation incorrectly assessed his home.

"You can end up like I did with four garages," Arnowtiz said.

Borough tax assessor Patrick Wilkins said residents would be able to make appointments to review their homes' assessments at the Municipal Building once the inspectors are done with the approximately 3,600 homes in Hillsdale.

Wilkins estimated the project would be finished sometime in November.

Officials also recommended that residents let the inspectors into their homes. Residents do not have to let them in, but the inspectors will likely over estimate what the house is worth.

A complete list of the inspectors, with photos, is available online here.

Councilman Douglas Frank previously said he expects about and 50 percent to stay the same.
