How They Can Help

The firm provides comprehensive property tax appeal services starting with detailed assessment reviews to identify overvaluations. They handle all aspects of the appeals process, from initial filing through formal hearings before county tax boards. Commercial property tax consulting includes income approach valuations, comparable sales analysis, and cost approach assessments for office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial properties. Residential services cover single-family homes, condominiums, and multi-family properties. They conduct thorough market analysis comparing your property to similar sales in the area. The team also provides ongoing assessment monitoring services, alerting clients when new assessments appear inflated. Additional services include tax exemption applications for eligible properties, senior citizen deductions, and veteran exemptions. They maintain relationships with certified appraisers when independent valuations strengthen appeal cases.

What to Expect

The process begins with a complimentary consultation where they review your current assessment and recent comparable sales. If they identify potential savings, they'll provide a detailed analysis outlining the appeal strategy and timeline. Most cases operate on contingency, meaning you pay only if they reduce your taxes. Once retained, they gather evidence including property inspections, market data, and expert appraisals when needed. They prepare and file all required documentation with the county tax board within statutory deadlines. Throughout the process, they keep you informed of progress and prepare you for any required testimony at hearings.

Service Area

The firm serves Jersey City and all of Hudson County, with additional coverage throughout northern New Jersey including Bergen, Essex, and Union counties. They regularly appear before tax boards in Newark, Hoboken, Bayonne, and surrounding municipalities. Their service area extends to Tax Court proceedings in Trenton when appeals require state-level review. They maintain working relationships with local assessors and tax officials throughout their coverage area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between hiring a lawyer versus a consultant for property tax appeals?
Attorneys can represent you in Tax Court proceedings and formal hearings, while consultants may be limited to administrative appeals. We also carry malpractice insurance and follow legal ethics rules.
How do contingency fees work for property tax appeals?
You pay nothing upfront, and we receive a percentage of your tax savings only if we successfully reduce your assessment. No reduction means no fee.
Can you appeal property taxes every year?
Yes, but successful appeals require new evidence or changed market conditions. We evaluate whether annual appeals make strategic sense for your property.
How long does the property tax appeal process take?
Most county board appeals resolve within 6-12 months. Tax Court appeals can take 12-18 months due to court scheduling and more formal procedures.
What evidence do you need to win a property tax appeal?
Successful appeals typically require comparable sales data, property condition documentation, and sometimes expert appraisals. We determine what evidence best supports your specific case.
Will appealing my property taxes trigger a reassessment or increase?
No, New Jersey law prohibits retaliatory increases. However, assessors can discover improvements during the process that might affect future assessments.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
Failed appeals don't increase your taxes, and you can appeal again next year with new evidence. For contingency cases, you owe no attorney fees for unsuccessful appeals.
Do you handle appeals for cooperative apartments and condominiums?
Yes, we handle condo appeals and can also assist cooperative boards with building-wide assessment challenges that benefit all shareholders.
