If you decide to proceed, Travis handles all paperwork and deadlines for filing your appeal with the Burlington County Tax Board.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals in Burlington County?
Appeals must be filed by April 1st or within 45 days of receiving your assessment notice, whichever is later. Missing this deadline typically means waiting until the following tax year.
Can I appeal my property taxes if I'm behind on payments?
Yes, you can appeal your assessment even if you're behind on tax payments. A successful appeal can reduce future tax obligations, though it won't eliminate past due amounts.
How do you determine if my property is overassessed?
We analyze recent sales of comparable properties, current market conditions, and your property's specific characteristics. If the assessment exceeds market value by a significant margin, you likely have grounds for appeal.
What if my property has environmental issues or needs major repairs?
These factors can significantly impact property value and provide strong grounds for appeal. We document all issues affecting your property's marketability and value.
How much will I save if my appeal is successful?
Savings depend on the amount of overassessment, but successful appeals often reduce assessments by 10-25%, resulting in similar percentage reductions in annual taxes.
Can I appeal every year if my taxes keep going up?
You can file appeals annually, but you need valid grounds each time. Small increases due to general revaluations are harder to challenge than significant overassessments.
Will appealing affect my ability to sell my property?
No, tax appeals don't create any liens or restrictions on your property. In fact, lower taxes often make properties more attractive to buyers.
What happens if the county tax board denies my appeal?
You can appeal the decision to the New Jersey Tax Court within 90 days. We evaluate whether further appeals are worthwhile based on your specific case circumstances.
