If a wild animal is acting peculiar, residents are advised to contact their local police department and / or animal control. If it requires testing they will contact the health department.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT – Township Reassessment Program
The Sussex County Board of Taxation has directed the Township of Hardyston to undertake a complete Reassessment Program for 2024 as a result of the Township’s current equalization ratio. The purpose of the reassessment is to bring property assessments inline with current market valuations and conditions. In year one of the program, 100% of all properties will be inspected to ensure uniform and equitable assessments throughout the municipality. Then for the next 4 years, 25% of the properties will be inspected. In all year’s of the program, 100% of the properties will have assessments evaluated.
A letter outlining the program was mailed to all property owners. A copy of the letter can be found here.
The Township has contracted with Appraisal Systems, Inc (ASI) to conduct the reassessment program.
As advertised, ASI held an on-line informational live webinar on July 11, 2023. Audience participants were allowed to ask questions, and all questions were answered at the time. For anyone not able to watch or participate, you can use the link below to access a full recording of the webinar.
