Re: Fee Estimate for Professional Surveying Services
Tax Map Maintenance — Division of Taxation Map and MOD -IV Changes
Borough of Carteret, Middlesex County, New Jersey
Proposal No. 2023-168
Dear Mayor:
Concurrent with the Borough's ongoing commercial and residential property revaluations, CME
Associates was authorized to revise to the Borough's tax maps, last approved by the State
Division of Taxation in 2003 and with the last comprehensive update occurring in 2011. Our
office's original scope of work included incorporating approximately 75 deeds provided by the Tax
Assessor's office into the official maps, including minor and major subdivisions, lot consolidations,
easements, and relevant property and right-of-way line changes. This initial scope work was
completed within budget and submitted to State for review and approval.
Since our initial submission, the Division of Taxation's subsequent reviews have rendered the
following changes that have been addressed by our office:
294 map formatting changes required to conform with State map standards;
223 MOD -IV reconciliations, which have included extensive deed and map research by
our office to recommend tax list resolutions to the Tax Assessor for updating;
15 railroad right-of-way related comments; and,
22 additional subdivision and lot consolidation map revisions provided by the Tax
Assessor.
Since receiving the State's comments, our office has been working in concert with the Tax
Assessor's office and Division of Taxation to make the necessary revisions and provide revised
maps and documentation for review. This work has included meetings and coordination with the
Tax Assessor, meetings with outside surveyors to gather and review subdivision plats, and deed
research to establish the correct map information in order to provide a responsive resubmission
to the State for their approval.
