What evidence do I need for a tax appeal?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

The strongest evidence for a tax appeal is recent comparable sales of similar homes in your neighborhood that sold for less than your assessed value. You can also use appraisals, evidence of structural issues that affect value, and photographs of defects. Multiple comparable sales are more convincing than just one. A professional appraisal strengthens your case significantly.

Why It Matters

The quality of your evidence directly determines whether your appeal succeeds. Weak or irrelevant evidence is the most common reason appeals are denied.
