The 2011 Revaluation has been completed. The final Tax List has been submitted to the Essex County Board of Taxation. If you disagree with your assessment the next step would be to file a tax appeal with the Essex County Board of Taxation. You can request an appeal package by calling 973-395-8525 or by visiting the forms page of the New Jersey Division of Taxation’s website: http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/pdf/other_forms/lpt/petappl.pdf.
Please note that appeals must be received (not merely postmarked) on or before May 1, 2011. At the time of your appeal you should be prepared to demonstrate any evidence supporting your opinion of fair market value, such as recent sales of similar properties in your area.
