Howell Township is under contract with Realty Data Systems (“RDS”) to perform an exterior and interior inspection of all properties for the Assessor’s records. They will be wearing RDS shirts and/or hat, have ID, and “tablets” that are being used during the inspections and photos. This program requires a 5-year inspection cycle, and will require that all properties are inspected once during this cycle. Your property may be scheduled to be inspected over the coming months, and there will not be further notice prior to your inspection. If you are not home during their visit, the exterior inspection will continue, and instructions will be left for re-scheduling an interior inspection. The municipal website contains detailed information about the inspection process. http://www.twp.howell.nj.us/217/Tax-Assessor
