Property Tax Appeal Appraisals in New Jersey
Certified Appraisals to Challenge Over-Assessed Property Values
When property taxes are based on an inflated assessment, a certified market value appraisal provides the evidence needed to support a successful tax appeal.
Why You May Be Overpaying Property Taxes in New Jersey
Many New Jersey homeowners pay higher property taxes because their home is over-assessed. When a township or county assigns a value that exceeds true market value, the result is an inflated tax bill that does not reflect what the property would realistically sell for.
New Jersey Real Estate Appraisal Group (NJREAG) provides certified property tax appeal appraisals that help homeowners demonstrate over-assessment, support a formal appeal, and pursue a lower property tax obligation using documented market evidence.
How Can an Appraisal Strengthen Your Property Tax Appeal?
New Jersey law allows property owners to appeal an assessment, but success depends on credible market evidence, not estimates or opinions.
A certified tax appeal appraisal from NJREAG can:
- Demonstrate over-assessment by comparing market value to the township’s assessed value
- Support your appeal with verified comparable sales and adjustments
- Strengthen your position at county tax board hearings or in tax court
- Reduce your annual property taxes, often saving hundreds or thousands each year
When Should You Request a Property Tax Appeal Appraisal?
You should consider a certified tax appeal appraisal if:
- Your assessed value appears higher than current market value
- Nearby homes are selling for less than your assessment
- Your property is in poorer condition than comparable homes
- You recently received a new or increased assessment
- You are preparing for a county tax board hearing or appeal review
We work with homeowners, attorneys, and accountants across New Jersey to deliver defensible, market-based valuations accepted by county tax boards.
