Its quite common to see homeowners and especially home sellers in Short Hills, Livingston, Maplewood, South Orange and other Essex County towns appealing their assessments these days since prices have come down. It can really have an impact on your sale if your taxes are too high. If you're thinking of selling your home in the next year, and your assessment is higher than you think it should be, then now is the time to apply for a tax appeal. If you miss the April 1st deadline you have to wait a whole year and that could affect your sale if your taxes are out of line.

Dear Sue,

Saw your article on tax assessment. We are appealing for our 2nd home in Short Hills before April 1st. Do you recommend that I do it myself or have it done by an attorney? And do the comparisons have to be done before the oct 1, 2008 on sold homes. We closed on this home on Oct 4th.

Thanks,

Ruchi

Ruchi, How embarrassing that I just now saw your comment!It must have gone into my spam folder. Hopefully you found out your answer since its after April 1st. I have a few questions for you regarding the appeal that would be easier to discuss than doing it in a public forum. (973)464-9129.

Sue
