Is your home over-assessed?
New Jersey has the highest property taxes in the country, and assessments drift out of line between revaluations. Find your home to see its estimated value, how its assessment compares with the rest of your town, and the nearby sales behind it.
1. Your value
Estimated from the most similar recent sales near you, adjusted for how prices have moved since.
2. Your town's ratio
Towns assess at a fraction of market value. We measure that fraction from the town's own sales.
3. The 15% test
If your assessment is more than 15% above the town's level, New Jersey law gives you grounds to appeal.
