CONGRATULATIONS TO AVALON BEACH PATROL for a tremendous performance in the 48th Annual

REASSESSMENT RECOMMENDED: Avalon tax assessor Jeff Hesley recommended the borough conduct a reassessment of property values for the 2018 tax year. Hesley reported to council members that conducting a reassessment will help avoid a state-mandated revaluation. Hesley proposed handling the reassessment in-house with the temporary addition of three part-time inspectors. An interesting note—Hesley also reported to council that since becoming assessor in 1993, 2,080 new homes have been constructed in Avalon.
DIAMONDBACK TERRAPIN harvesting is now illegal in New Jersey, thanks to legislation passed last week. Concerns about too many turtles being taken in recent years for sale as pets in foreign markets led to the eventual passing of the law, which makes it illegal to catch or take a terrapin in New Jersey.
