Whether a New Jersey tax appeal would reduce your assessment, change nothing, or raise it, worked out from the State's certified average ratio for your municipality, before you commission anything. The full table of certified ratios and Common Level Ranges is on the same page.

Official sources
Every statutory figure and deadline on this site comes from one of these. You should not have to take our word for any of it.
- NJ Division of Taxation, property administration
Equalization tables, the Handbook for New Jersey Assessors, and general property tax administration. The source for the annual Director's ratio.
- NJ Division of Taxation, inheritance and estate tax
Beneficiary classes, rates, forms and filing deadlines for the transfer inheritance tax. Relevant to almost every date-of-death assignment in New Jersey.
- NJ Tax Court
Rules, forms and filing information. Property assessed over $1,000,000 may be appealed here directly rather than to the county board.
- NJ Division of Consumer Affairs, licence verification
Verify any New Jersey appraiser's licence, including ours. Worth doing before engaging anybody, and it takes about thirty seconds.
- The Appraisal Foundation
Publisher of USPAP, the standards every credible appraisal in the United States is prepared under.
- NJ Association of County Tax Boards
Property records and assessment data across New Jersey counties, plus links to individual county tax boards.
Glossary

Referrals
Who we refer work to
An appraisal is rarely the only thing somebody needs. These are the people we send work to when it is not. We take nothing for the referral, and none of them has any part in what a report concludes.

Tell us the purpose and the deadline
Those two things determine the effective date, the fee, and the turnaround. If an appraisal is not the right instrument for what you need, you will hear that first.
