How to appeal your Property Taxes in NJ 

Have you appealed your taxes and had any success? What was your experience like? Let me know in the comments below!

Thank you. I am going through a similar situation right now. I appealed the first time when the assessment was double what I had purchased the property for. They came down some but not all. They only increased slightly in the following year. Then right back to the amounts prior to appeal the following year after that. Now building on that I think I have enough to go and ask for a review again. It appears they bank on the knowledge most individuals do not have the time, patients, or abilities to appeal multiple times. It is a truly unfair process and taxes should be universally charged instead of a property valuation that is market based. Either way there definitely should be a limitation of increase as to percentage, like 2% year maximum. This provides the municipality with a steady income stream and landowners with stability. The savings is translated into reasonable rents and improvements.

Very informative video - thank you. I live in NJ too, but there is no online portal for my local jurisdiction (all manual paper filing and hearings). Really glad you won the appeal. This state keeps getting more and more expensive to live in when many other states are "reasonable". Nice job on the win and good luck with future appeals!

Thanks. Im going to start appealing mines. But first research ty

Solid video. Keep us posted on the 2022 appeal, I hope you crush them in court.

I appreciate this video! David and Goliath! Good to know you succeeded against a lawyer and those trained to be unbias with their assessments. Congrats on your win!

Great job bro keep fighting the man i’m probably gonna have to appeal mine too

You’re so resourceful

great video!

Thank you!!

same think happened to general motor in 1993, you can sue the tax assessment and town if you can claim this was done with malice, crazy u got 100k more for this year

What type of issues with the house did you document to help your case? Do home repairs such as needing a new roof, air condition broken or rotten wood count to reducing the valuation of the home? Would taking pictures of needed repairs help your case?

Omggg!!! This was amazing

Thanks for sharing

I just appealed mine(2022) in TEXAS. This is my first time ever doing it. I have a new build and my monthly payment jumped to $335 more a month. I was short in escrow because of previous taxes. I'm appealing 2021, too, but I think I'm too late.

I'm literally about to do this process. I tried to work out a deal and they told me I have to go to the County. I live in NJ too. Its ridiculous

I just went through the appeal and want to help others: Tax assessment = Fair Market Value x Average Common Level Ratio. (why are my comments about common level range getting deleted or not shown? Is my information wrong? )

Can you Share your spread sheet?

I live in NJ and want to appeal my taxes but I am still a little confused on what the assessment is based on weather sq ft of homes or sales price. I am not trying to open a can of worms and have my taxes go up even more. Should I hire an attorney? Please help!! I have no clue about any of this. Thanks

Great video very informative I’m going through the same thing. Congratulations 🎉

Don’t vote blue!

What town are you in?

Congratulations for appealing improper taxes. I wonder if a complaint should be filed against that local assessor displaying an un-profesional practice; it looks like a vendetta.
