Assessment Review

Tax Appeals are filed with the County Tax Board or NJ Tax Court between January 10th and April 1st each year.  If at a point AFTER the appeal deadline has passed, a property owner feels aggrieved because their assessment is "out of line" with other similar properties in Town, they can persue an Assessment Review.  Reasons for this type of review generally deal with a recent sale or listing of your property, or based on comparable sales activity similar to your property.  On occasion a Review might also be relevant to correct factual data about your land or building.

The review process involves filling out a questionnaire dealing with the specific facts about your property and any issues that are of relevance.  Feel free to provide any attachments that your feel contribute to your position.  The Assessment Reviews occur between October 15th and December 15th, in order to implement any necessary changes to the Tax Book effective January 1st of the following year.  If a review results in no change to the assessment, the property owner will be notified of this decision by mail, and informed about the Appeal Process available to them.
