Bergen County Board of Taxation may decide to have the following towns revalued for the 2009 and 2010 tax year.
When the Bergen County Board of taxation orders a municipality to revalue all property and to establish current market value as their basis for tax assessments it is the homeowners responsibility to make sure the value that is established is correct at 100%. Any other tax year other than a revaluatuion year and the erroneous errors from the tax assessor can range a spread of 30% (15%/15% either side of tax assessment) and sorry no tax relief. You need our expert tax appeal specialist to fight your assessment.
Normally a municipality engages a revaluation firm such as realty appraisal company or appraisal systems both are revaluation firms.
The assessed value that these companies use for assessment purposes is a direct reflection of market value and how much real estate tax a property owner will be paying. Ofcourse they will say it's not wrong and your taxes will not increase but this is a farce a lie. When a revaluation is conducted, there are normally governmental expenses hidden in those municipal budgets. In any other year other year, other than the revaluation year, a layperson cannot recognize the massive tax increase or consequence.
Every revaluation company will tell you the value will be used for assessment purposes and an increase in the assessed value of your property does not necessarily mean your taxes will go up because after the revaluation has been completed, a new tax rate is also a established. This is an illusion to deflect the massive amount of taxappeals that would occur. As I stated earlier, any other tax year, other than a revaluatuion year and the erroneous errors from the tax assessment signed off by the assessor from the revaluation company can range 30% (15%/15% either side of tax assessment) and the poor property homeowner has no recourse for tax relief and sorry the commissioner will say you have not shown a descrimanatory tax assessment therefore no tax relief, "dismissed". As a former revaluation hearing officer I have seen first hand what happens after a town has not been reevaluated over at considerable time period.
