Tax assessors will look at your property and determine what it is worth based on a number of factors, such as number of bedrooms. The property and the building on it will both be assessed. As the market moves up and down, the taxes
that you are paying might not be accurate any more. Once the property assessments of an entire town is off by 15%, on average, from where they should be, the state orders your town to perform a revaluation. (Property - See Page 6)

Wreaths Placed To Remember Veterans
New Property Assessments In The Future
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY - Berkeley Township will be undergoing a tax revaluation in the future, which will change every property’s assessment. The assessment is different from what you paid for your property.
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – There are parks and athletic fields throughout town that are where kids play, learn, and develop into young adults. It was fitting that in 2022 four locations were named after role models in the community. The celebrations started in spring, when the new baseball field at Central Regional was christened the Al Kunzman Memorial Field at the Al Leiter Baseball Park. The field itself is stellar, a short walk downhill from the school campus. Fans can sit in the new bleachers and visit the snack shack. A scoreboard lights up from behind third base, big enough to see from anywhere. Inducted into the Central Regional Sports Hall of Fame in 1987, the late Al Kunzman had a prolific baseball coaching career. The fact that he was the coach of many other Hall of Famers shows how skilled he was. He was also credited as one of the coaches who started the Ocean County and Shore Conference Tournaments. Leiter graduated Central in 1984 and went on to pitch for the Yankees and Mets. He was on the teams that won the World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays (1993) and the Florida Marlins (1997). Kunzman coached him at Central.
