Northumberland County has contracted Tyler Technologies to conduct a countywide property reassessment – the first since 1972. This reassessment will ensure fair and equitable property values for tax purposes, as the current base rates for assessments have remained unchanged for over 50 years. Property values will be updated to reflect current market conditions, but the reassessment itself is not intended to raise taxes – only to fairly distribute the tax burden.
Beginning in late spring 2025, Tyler Technologies’ data collectors will visit every property in the county. They will measure structures, gather property details such as construction year and room count, and take necessary photographs. Data collectors will wear bright yellow vests marked “Tyler” and carry county-issued ID badges. They will not enter homes and will leave if only a minor is present or if asked by the owner to do so.
After data collection, property owners will receive a mailer summarizing the recorded information. Owners should review it carefully and report any errors to ensure the most accurate valuation.
Following review, Tyler Technologies will analyze the data and develop updated assessment values that will reflect the market value for each property as of July 1, 2026. Tentative new market values will be mailed to property owners in spring 2027.
Check back frequently for the latest, up-to-date news regarding reassessment activities.

There have been several reported cases of stolen items from vehicles in the Township. These thefts have all been from unsecured vehicles. To avoid theft, make sure your vehicle is locked. DO NOT leave valuables, keys, phones, or wallets in clear sight. DO NOT leave windows down or leave your car running while unattended. Try to park in well-lit areas and call the police to report any suspected theft; Point Township Police Department 570-473-9364.
Please DO NOT place magazines or large books in the Little Library. This Library is meant for small children to young adult reading material. Someone recently ‘packed’ the library full of adult magazines (Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar) and two thick cookbooks making it hard to open the door or access the books and damaging a few books. We will be checking the library daily moving forward. If you have books appropriate for young readers, please make arrangements to drop them off during business hours.
