Appraisal Services Across Gloucester County

Gloucester County is South Jersey's fastest-changing suburban market. It runs from the older Delaware River towns of Paulsboro, National Park and Westville, through established boroughs like Woodbury, Pitman and Wenonah, to new subdivisions and farmland in Harrison, Woolwich, South Harrison and Elk. About 79% of homes are owner-occupied (U.S. Census), and roughly 73% of housing is detached single-family (DVRPC).

New Jersey Real Estate Appraisal Group provides state-certified appraisals for Gloucester County homeowners, attorneys, executors, accountants and investors. Every report follows USPAP and is written to hold up when it's challenged, whether by opposing counsel, the County Board of Taxation, the IRS or a lender's review appraiser.

Gloucester County Tax Appeals: The January 15 Deadline

Gloucester County does not follow the April 1 deadline most of New Jersey uses. Following a change in state regulations for the county, appeals are filed between November 15 and January 15, and are due by 4:00 p.m. on January 15 (Gloucester County Board of Taxation). Assessment postcards are mailed on or before November 15, so owners have roughly two months to act.

The Board's published instructions (Gloucester County CTB) set out what the evidence has to look like:

Value is set as of October 1 of the pre-tax year. For the 2026 assessment, it was October 1, 2025. Comparable sales should fall within the 12 months before that date. You can use older sales if recent ones aren't available, but be ready to justify them.
Submit your best three comparable sales, and never more than five.
Avoid non-usable sales. Short sales, foreclosures, family transfers and estate or trust sales are coded as non-usable and carry little weight.
The appraiser must attend. An appraisal report is optional. If you submit one, the appraiser must be state licensed and present at the hearing, or the appraisal may not be considered.
Evidence is due 7 days before the hearing, by 4:00 p.m.
Board office & filing

The Board is at the Clayton Complex, Building A, 1200 North Delsea Drive, Clayton. Online filing is available and accepts credit cards. As of July 1, 2026, the Board no longer accepts cash.

We prepare tax appeal appraisals valued as of the correct date, with comparables that meet the Board's standard, and we attend the hearing to testify. Because the window closes in mid-January, contact us in November or December.

Estate and Date-of-Death Appraisals

Gloucester County estates are handled by the Gloucester County Surrogate, 17 North Broad Street, Woodbury (NJ Courts). Executors typically need a date-of-death value for three reasons: to report stepped-up basis to the IRS, to divide property fairly among heirs, and to support a sale or buyout.

Our estate and date-of-death appraisals are retrospective. We value the property as it stood on the date of death, using sales from that period rather than today's market.

Divorce Appraisals for Gloucester County Family Court

Gloucester County divorce matters are handled by the Family Division at the Gloucester County Justice Complex, 70 Hunter Street, Woodbury (NJ Courts). When the marital home is part of equitable distribution, both sides and the court need a value that is neutral and defensible.

We provide court-ready divorce appraisals. That includes retrospective values as of the date of filing or separation, joint engagements where both spouses agree on one appraiser, and inspections coordinated through counsel when the parties cannot be present together.

New Construction and Newer Homes

More than half of Gloucester County's housing was built in 1980 or later, and about a quarter since 2000 (DVRPC). Harrison Township (Mullica Hill), Woolwich, Monroe and Washington Township continue to add subdivisions and 55+ communities.

Newer homes raise specific appraisal questions: lot premiums, builder upgrades, incentives that inflate a contract price, and competing new-construction inventory nearby. We separate those from true market value, which matters for PMI removal, a pre-listing price, a divorce buyout or a tax appeal on a recently assessed home.

Frequently Asked Questions – Gloucester County Appraisals

When is the property tax appeal deadline in Gloucester County?
Gloucester County is on a different schedule from most of New Jersey. Appeals are filed between November 15 and January 15, and must be filed by 4:00 p.m. on January 15. Assessment postcards are mailed on or before November 15, so there are roughly two months to act.
Does the appraiser have to attend my Gloucester County tax appeal hearing?
Yes. According to the Gloucester County Board of Taxation's instructions, an appraisal report may be submitted, but the appraiser must be state licensed and must attend the hearing. If the appraiser is not present, the appraisal may not be considered as evidence.
Can you appraise a newer home or a home in a 55+ community?
Yes. More than half of Gloucester County homes were built in 1980 or later, and new construction continues in towns such as Harrison, Woolwich and Monroe. We compare new and near-new homes against resales in the same or competing communities, and adjust for lot premiums, upgrades and builder incentives.
Can you value a Gloucester County property as of a past date for an estate or divorce?
Yes. Retrospective appraisals value a property as of the date of death, date of separation, or date of filing. They are commonly required for estates handled by the Gloucester County Surrogate at 17 North Broad Street in Woodbury, and for equitable distribution in the Family Division at the Gloucester County Justice Complex.
How long does a Gloucester County appraisal take and what does it cost?
Most reports are delivered in 2 to 5 business days after the inspection. Typical fees range from $495 to $750 depending on property type, complexity and purpose. Court-ready, retrospective, acreage and multi-family assignments may be higher. You receive a firm quote before scheduling.
