FREE SEMINAR: How To Appeal NJ Property Taxes -- AND WIN!

Is your property tax bill higher than your neighbors? Are real estate values falling in your area? When you compare your home to similar sold homes, did your home decrease in value?

In 2010 alone, nearly 20,000 homeowners appealed their property taxes in New Jersey – and nearly two-thirds succeeded in having their assessments reduced by $25,000.00 to $75,000.00 – thereby lowering their taxes in many cases by $10,000.00 over 12 years.

This seminar -- hosted by Peter Jordan of Prudential New Jersey Properties --   will help you determine if your property value is overassessed and explain what you need to know in order to successfully challenge your assessment in your township.
