FAIR HAVEN INSPECTIONS INFORMATION

The Borough of Fair Haven is under contract with Realty Data Systems (RDS) to inspect a designated portion of all properties located in the Borough each year. These inspections are required by NJ State Tax Law, as part of the Monmouth County Assessment Demonstration Project. The information obtained through these inspections will enable the Borough to maintain accurate property records that are used to complete annual reassessments, which are a critical component in the fair distribution of taxes. 

A notification has been mailed to all property owners subject to an inspection this year, which contained instructions for contacting RDS to complete a “remote virtual” (RV) interior inspection that requires no entry into your home.

The RV is user-friendly, requires no app downloads and can be completed by calling (732) 719-2265 from your smart phone at any time between 9am and 5pm, Monday-Friday (no appointments required).  Please make sure you are at your property when calling.

Inspectors will also visit the designated properties to conduct a full exterior (front and rear) inspection which includes photographs. During that visit, an interior walkthrough will be offered, if an RV has not previously been completed. During walkthroughs inspectors will respect social-distancing and wear masks when inside any property. If you do not want an inspector to enter your home, you will again receive printed instructions for completing an RV.  

Property visits will take place between 9am and dusk, Monday-Saturday, and all personnel will carry photo ID.  The RDS office and the Fair Haven Police Department possess all inspector background and other pertinent information.

Following RDS’ visit to all designated properties, a final mailing will be made to all property owners who have not yet completed an interior inspection.  While physical walkthroughs will not be scheduled after that time, RV inspections will continue to be available for a limited period.

If for any reason you would like to refuse an interior inspection, please visit www.rdsnj.com, click “Appointments” and select the REFUSAL FORM. 

Please note that if an interior inspection is not completed, the Borough’s Tax Assessor may need to make estimates that could result in an inaccurate property record or tax assessment, and Monmouth County may limit your rights during any assessment appeal.
