How do I challenge my home's assessed value?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
To challenge your assessed value, file a petition with your county Board of Taxation by April 1 of the tax year. You need evidence that your home's assessed value exceeds its true market value. Evidence typically includes recent comparable sales of similar homes in your neighborhood. You can represent yourself or hire a tax appeal professional or attorney.
Why It Matters
A successful appeal can reduce your property tax bill by hundreds or thousands of dollars per year and the savings continue every year after.
