River Edge Received a 2026 Revaluation
River Edge completed a full municipal revaluation in 2025–2026. Every property was reassessed at or near 100% of estimated market value — the first full revaluation in years for many homeowners. Revaluations often produce large assessment jumps, and assessors frequently overshoot market conditions.
Because of the revaluation, River Edge homeowners have an extended deadline of May 1, 2026 to file a property tax appeal (instead of the standard April 1 deadline). If you received a blue revaluation notice, now is the time to check whether your new assessment reflects actual market value.
