Appeal Deadlines

Deadlines to Remember: (NJ Division of Taxation)

Tax appeals are on assessments only, not taxes, and must be filed by April 1st of tax year; or 45 days from date of bulk mailing of Assessment Notices, whichever is later; 
May 1st of tax year if revalued or reassessed; January 15th for Monmouth County; or (December 1st for Added and Omitted Assessments.) 

The Appeal Deadline for most Municipalities is April 2, 2018

NOTE: Monmouth County's is on a different calendar and the deadline was January 16, 2018

A taxpayer considering an appeal should understand that he/she must prove that his/her assessed value is unreasonable compared to a market value standard.

For an assessed value to be considered excessive or discriminatory, a taxpayer must prove that the assessment does not fairly represent either the True Market Value Standard or “Common Level Range” Standard. The “common level range” for a taxing district is that range which is plus or minus 15% of the average ratio for that district.
