How do I apply for a property tax appeal?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
To appeal your property tax assessment in New Jersey, file a petition with your county Board of Taxation by April 1 of the tax year (or within 45 days of the bulk assessment mailing in towns that reassess). You will need evidence of comparable sales supporting a lower value. The filing fee is modest, and you can represent yourself or hire a tax appeal professional.
Why It Matters
A successful property tax appeal can reduce your tax bill by hundreds or thousands of dollars annually with a single filing.
