Revaluation News As previously reported, Gibbsboro is under a Court Order to conduct a revaluation of all properties within the municipality. The Borough has hired Professional Property Appraisers, Inc. to conduct the revaluation. As part of the revaluation process the Borough s tax maps have undergone major revisions, the first major updates since Gibbsboro was incorporated in The tedious process resulted in the effective date of the revaluation moving to January Employees of Professional Property Appraisers will be in town taking pictures of all properties from the street. Our police have all their IDs and car identification information. The employees also have a letter of introduction from our Tax Assessor, Tom Glock. For this phase they should not be on anyone s private property. The revaluation process does not, by itself, change the amount raised for municipal or local school purposes. It could impact your share of that amount based on the relative change in the value of your individual property when compared to others. Other factors that affect taxes are actual budgets and the relative value of Gibbsboro property values to other towns in the regional school district or County.
