Real Estate Tax Appeal

In New Jersey, real estate taxes are based upon a municipality’s assessment of the value of property. Assessors must make estimates based on the current market and neighborhood trends, as well as past history. Unfortunately, it is not possible to accurately predict the value of every property. As a result, many properties are over-assessed. When your property is over-assessed, you pay more in taxes than you should. Our attorneys have a high rate of success in challenging these assessments.

Our practice encompasses all aspects of federal, state and local tax planning and litigation for businesses of all sizes. We advise businesses on tax efficient entity selection at inception, structuring of acquisitions and sales, spin-offs, mergers, capital restructurings, liquidations, separation of ownership interests and real estate tax attorney new jersey transactions.
