Neptune will start inspecting buildings in the township as required by the state's Real Property Assessment Demonstration Program.
"The purpose . . . is to increase the frequency of property data collection/verification so taxpayers aren't unfairly paying less or more than they should be for a decade or more," the township said in an emailed statement.
Until the Program was adopted in 2013, municipalities conducted property-tax assessments or revaluations every ten years.
The inspections, which include interiors as well as exteriors, will be conducted by Realty Data Systems. Property owners will be informed of inspection by mail, and those notices have been mailed out, the township said.
Inspections are to start within the next two weeks, according to the township.
The first inspections are to take place within the Gables, Sunshine Village, Bradley Park, part of Midtown (west of Highway 35), part of Green Grove, and The Summit and Knox Hill condominiums.
Inspectors will verify the condition and details of each property. Inspectors also will verify information on the premise's property card and note changes or corrections.
If you're not home at the time of the inspection, the inspector will leave a notice with information on how to schedule an appointment. You can call the number on the notice or go online to http://www (dot) rdsnj (dot) com/ and click "Book Now."
You may also arrange to have an inspector visit when a friend or relative is able to be there with you, if you're not comfortable about admitting a stranger to the premises when you're alone.
Realty Data Systems has given the township police department records that include a photograph and driver license number or each inspector, as well as vehicle place number and the car make and model of each inspector's car.
Do not allow anyone who is unable to provide identification to enter your property, the township said.
