If you believe your property taxes are too high due to an inaccurate assessment, you have the right to initiate a tax appeal to the tax board in pursuit of a reduction in your property's assessed value. This action can result in substantial savings, potentially amounting to thousands of dollars annually, for individuals and businesses alike.

  • Residential tax appeals

  • County tax appeals

  • State tax appeals

When considering a property tax appeal, it's crucial to bear in mind that the burden of proof lies with the taxpayer. You'll need to demonstrate that your assessed property value is significantly disproportionate when compared to the prevailing market value standard. It's essential to recognize that, according to the law, your current assessment is presumed to be accurate. To secure an adjustment in your assessment, you must effectively counter this presumption of correctness. This process entails presenting compelling evidence and building a strong case to substantiate your claim, as outlined in "A Guide to Tax Appeal Hearings" by the State of New Jersey.
