New Jersey property owners face one of the highest tax burdens in the country. If your property is overassessed, you may be paying more than your fair share in taxes. A successful tax appeal can result in substantial savings for both residential and commercial property owners.

​

UNDERSTANDING PROPERTY TAX ASSESSMENTS

​

Property taxes are based on the assessed value of your property. When the equalized value assigned by the municipality is higher than the fair market value, the result is an inflated tax bill.

​

FILING DEADLINES 

​

In most New Jersey municipalities, the deadline to file a property tax appeal is April 1. However, deadlines may differ if your town is undergoing a revaluation or if you live in certain counties. Missing the deadline means losing your right to appeal for that year, which makes timely consultation with an attorney critical.

​

HOW WE CAN HELP 

​

At The Law Office of Frank E. Ferruggia Jr. LLC, we provide a complimentary review of your case to determine whether you have grounds for an appeal. If you have a strong case, we will:

• Work with a qualified appraiser to establish evidence of overvaluation

• File an appeal on your behalf

• Represent you before the County Tax Board or New Jersey Tax Court, as appropriate

• Negotiate with municipal tax assessors and attorneys

• Present your case with the goal of achieving a fair outcome

 

LEGAL FEES 

​

Most property tax appeal matters are handled on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not pay a legal fee unless we achieve a reduction in your property taxes. For clients who prefer, hourly fee arrangements are also available.
