Wood-Ridge Received a 2026 Revaluation
Wood-Ridge 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, Wood-Ridge 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.
