2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 13 - Conservation and Development--Parks and Reservations|Section 13:17-67 - Aggregate true value

13:17-67. Aggregate true value  (a) As used in this section, except as otherwise specifically provided: (1) The increase or decrease in aggregate true value of taxable real property for any adjustment year shall be the difference between: (i) The aggregate true value of that portion of taxable real property, exclusive of Class II railroad property, in the municipality located within the district in the comparison year, and  (ii) The aggregate true value of said property in the base year. (2) Aggregate true value of all taxable real property shall be determined by aggregating the assessed value of all real property within the district boundaries in each constituent municipality, and dividing said total by the average assessment ratio as promulgated by the Director of the Division of Taxation in the Department of the Treasury for State school aid purposes on October 1 of the respective years for which aggregate true value is to be determined, pursuant to P.L. 1954, c. 86, as amended, as the same may have been modified by the tax court.  (3) For the purpose of calculating aggregate true value, the assessed value of taxable real property for any given year shall comprise: (i) The assessed value shown on the assessment duplicate for such year, as certified by the county board of taxation and reflected in the county table of aggregates prepared pursuant to R.S. 54:4-52, as the same may be modified by the county board of taxation upon appeal, plus  (ii) The prorated assessed values pertaining to such year, as certified by the county board of taxation on or before October 10, with respect to the assessor's added assessment list for such year, as the same may be modified by the county board of taxation upon appeal, plus  (iii) The assessed values pertaining to such year, as certified by the county board of taxation on or about October 10, with respect to the assessor's omitted property assessment list for such year, as the same may be modified by the county board of taxation upon appeal.  (b) The amount payable to the intermunicipal account by each constituent municipality in any adjustment year shall be determined in the following manner: the apportionment rates calculated for the comparison year shall be multiplied by the increase, if any, in aggregate true value of taxable real property for such year; provided, however, that the amount payable to the intermunicipal account shall be limited to 10% of the amount so calculated in the adjustment year 1973 and shall increase 4 percentage points a year until 50% of the amount so calculated is paid into the intermunicipal account in the adjustment year 1983 through adjustment year 1988. Beginning in adjustment year 1989 the amount payable into the intermunicipal account shall be reduced by 2 percentage points a year until 40% of the amount calculated pursuant to this subsection is paid into the intermunicipal account in the adjustment year 1993 and thereafter.  (c) If, during any comparison year, a constituent municipality has received a payment in lieu of real estate taxes on property located within the district, then, for the purpose of calculating the increase or decrease in the municipality's aggregate true value under subsection (a)(1) of this section, there shall be added to the aggregate true value otherwise determined for such comparison year an amount determined by dividing the amount of said in lieu payment by the municipal tax rate for the comparison year and dividing the result by the average assessment ratio for school aid purposes as promulgated by the Director of the Division of Taxation, as same may have been modified by the tax court.
