Tax Assessor's must change 2013 tax assessments for properties damaged by Hurricane Sandy by January 10, 2013.

If your New Jersey real estate was damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Sandy, you may be entitled to property tax relief. In order to take advantage of possible tax relief for 2013, you must notify your municipal tax assessor in writing by January 10, 2013.
We are ready to help you as and when needed. If you would like assistance in notifying your tax assessor, we can send the proper written notice for you and guide you through the process. Please contact me if you need assistance.

If the tax assessor fails to reduce your 2013 tax assessment based on the damage or destruction to your property, you may have grounds to seek relief by filling a regular tax appeal by April 1 2013.

For immediate help or other assistance, please call or email me with your property address and a brief description of the damage to your property. I will provide you, at no cost, with an evaluation of your case as quickly as possible and, in most cases, immediately.

Please contact me if you need assistance.

Added and Omitted Assessment Filing Deadline is December 1, 2012

The deadline to file an appeal of an added or omitted assessment is December 1, 2012.

If you received a supplemental tax bill payable on November 1, 2012, you have a right to appeal this additional tax by filing a tax appeal by December 1, 2012.

The deadline to file your regular assessment appeal will be either April 1, 2013 or May 1, 2013, depending on whether or not your town adopts a reassessment/revaluation.

As a real estate owner and taxpayer, your only recourse to reduce your annual real estate taxes is to file a real estate tax appeal challenging your tax assessment.

Contact me to discuss your individual circumstances.
