Irvington council approves $500,000 supplemental appropriation for township revaluation
Summary
The Irvington Municipal Council adopted an ordinance on Aug. 12 adding $500,000 to finance a full revaluation of real property and preparation of an approved tax map, supplementing $850,000 previously appropriated in 2022.
The Irvington Municipal Council on Aug. 12 adopted an ordinance providing a supplemental special emergency appropriation of $500,000 for a complete revaluation of real property and the preparation of an approved township tax map. The ordinance states the $500,000 is in addition to $850,000 previously appropriated by Ordinance #MC3787, adopted Feb. 28, 2022.
Council members introduced the ordinance as a measure to update assessments and the official tax map. The ordinance requires filing a certified copy with the Director of the Division of Local Government Services in the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, and takes effect according to applicable law once that process is complete. The minutes indicate the ordinance was adopted (absent: Brown).
The council did not record a roll-call vote tally in the minutes beyond noting an absence. The appropriation authorizes the administration to enter into contracts and incur expenses necessary to complete the revaluation and the approved tax map. The ordinance text frames the work as a one-time, township-wide valuation update rather than an ongoing expense.
