 TRENTON
-- The next New Jersey certified tax assessor examination will be held
on Saturday, March 25, 2006. The deadline for filing applications for
the examination is February 23, 2006. The test will be given at the
Richard J. Hughes Justice Complex in Trenton.
To
be appointed to office as a municipal assessor in New Jersey, an individual
assessor must possess a Tax Assessor Certificate. Certificates are granted
to those who successfully pass the certification examination.
Examinations
are offered twice a year, in March and September. Robert K. Thompson,
Director of the Division of Taxation explained that the purpose of the
Assessor Certification and Tenure Act, which became law in 1967, is
to ensure the professional administration of the State's property tax
laws through training and examination. Its aim is also to make a career
in tax assessing more attractive to qualified persons by providing tenure.
Since 1967, certificates have been awarded to 2,245 candidates.
To
obtain an application for the upcoming assessor certificate examination,
write to Gary R. DalCorso, PO Box 251, Trenton, NJ 08695-0251 or call
