I am in Union Township I wanted to know if anyone in Union county has been successful with tax appeals? But really I want to know if I try to appeal will it set a red flag and make them check and later raise in the immediate future? I did see that some people are paying about 1000 less than I am living on the same block
I did in Union County, but I live in a town that pays a lot more in taxes than Union Township. If someone is willing to do all of the work for a cut of the savings, then let them do it. Cant cost you more than doing nothing

So you got a lawyer to do it? If so how much? Thanks
The process is actually pretty easy. I did it in essex county myself. If you call the tax assessors office they will tell you what you need to do. In my case i didnt even have to go to court. They called and settled over the phone.

Just called they gave me a site amwith instructions the earliest to submit is Feb 1st. Someone told me give it in that first month if you can the first week.
Can they raise taxes even hire if it was just raised? The previous owner was paying around 1300 less than what I am paying a year. How does it go up that much? If I try to appeal can they say hey you just bought this and raise it again? I've heard they raise taxes some times when there's a new owner. Or do you think this is the raised taxes from being new owner? Thanks
Generally speaking, yes they can. Typically, townwide reassessments are made every few years. How often is different for every town. This may increase or decrease your property taxes. Buying a house doesnt trigger a reassessment as far as i know but making improvements on a home for example may. I dont believe they raise taxes when there is a new owner but often when the yearly Tax Determination is done your taxes will go up then as well. Always assume they will since, well, they always do in NJ.
From what i have read and heard, it is always good practice to appeal your property taxes if you can. There is no downside. Some people say many towns will raise the taxes high in anticipation of a certain percentage of residents appealing them.
