In 2018, legislation sponsored by Assemblyman Mazzeo was signed into law, permitting county governing bodies, with approval of the local county board of taxation, to revise their real property assessment calendar. This program is specifically designed to reschedule the property assessment appeal process to dates prior to when the local property tax rate is calculated, which allows for a more accurate local property tax rate. In doing so, the program moves the appeal process from April to January, allowing municipalities to have a better understanding of their tax base when making budgetary decisions.

"This change is an opportunity for good governance that would benefit the towns and the residents," said Mazzeo (D-Atlantic). "It's important that we, as representatives through Atlantic County, are able to put politics aside and implement practical solutions."
