Understanding the New Jersey Property Tax Appeal Process

1. Initial Consultation
   Begin with a detailed consultation where we evaluate your property’s current tax assessment and discuss the potential for an appeal. We’ll guide you through the necessary documentation and answer any questions you have. Our consultation fee reflects the value of the expertise and insights we provide.
2. Filing the Appeal
   If we determine that your property is over-assessed, we’ll file a formal appeal on your behalf with the appropriate County Board of Taxation. Our firm will handle all legal paperwork and deadlines.
3. Appraisal and Analysis
   We work with certified appraisers to obtain an independent valuation of your property. This step is crucial in building a strong case for your tax appeal.
4. Hearing Representation
   Our firm will represent you during the tax appeal hearing, presenting evidence and arguments to support your case. We’ll negotiate with tax assessors and advocate for a reduced assessment.
5. Outcome and Refund
   If your appeal is successful, you’ll receive a reduction in your property taxes, and potentially a refund for overpayments. We’ll ensure the new assessment reflects the fair market value of your property.

Who Can Benefit from a Property Tax Appeal?

• Homeowners
  Many homeowners are unaware that their property may be over-assessed, leading to inflated tax bills. A tax appeal can result in significant savings over time.
• Commercial Property Owners
  Businesses often face higher tax assessments due to complex valuation methods. We help commercial property owners challenge these assessments and reduce their operational costs.
• Real Estate Investors
  Investors with multiple properties can benefit from appealing tax assessments to maximize returns and maintain profitability.
