Meetings

Board of Assessors Meeting Dates

The Board of Assessors usually meet on the first and third Thursday of each month and exceptions are made and posted on the calendar.  Regular meetings begin at 6:00 p.m. in the Commission Chambers on the 2nd Floor of the Government Services Complex located at 200 East 4th Street in Woodbine. 

Special called meetings are held when necessary. All meetings are open to the public.

Homestead Exemption Freeze

In 2006, the taxpayers of Camden County passed SB496. This is an exemption that is equal to the difference between the Assessors fair market value and the base year. The “base year” means the taxable year immediately preceding the taxable year in which the exemption is first granted to the most recent owner. 

The exemption shall include only the primary residence and not more than five acres of land immediately surrounding the home. Any improvements made to the property after January 1 will be added to the base year value for the following tax year.
