  • How Many Homes?

    More 2010 US Census Data:

    In Avalon, there are 5,434 residential dwelling units.  In 2000, there were 5,281.  The restructuring of the business district allowing residential units above commercial space is a factor with the increase.

    The numbers in Stone Harbor show a decrease in dwelling units- 3,247 in 2010, down from 3,428 in 2000.  This reflects the replacement of non-conforming duplex structures (torn down and replaced with single family homes).

  • Tax Assessments- Green Postcard

    Postcards have been mailed to all Avalon and Stone Harbor property owners from the tax assessor’s office.

    In Avalon, the numbers reflect the recent re-evaluation (detailed in the letter sent to property owners in December).  In Stone Harbor, the assessment is based on the re-evaluation completed in 2008 (should be the same figure as last year unless substantial changes were made to the property).

    If you have any questions about the fair market value of your shore home, I am happy to provide additional details:   ann@anndelaney.com

  • Avalon NJ- Property Assessments

    FYI- the Borough of Avalon mailed letters to all Avalon property owners with the adjusted tax assessment. 

    The State of New Jersey requires tax assessments to be in line with fair market value.  Therefore, a Borough wide re-assessment was completed at the end of 2010.
