S 1670 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Limits increase of assessed value of property subject to appeal judgment following implementation of reassessment.

This bill (S 1670) limits how much a property's assessed value can increase after a successful tax appeal, specifically when a new district-wide reassessment is implemented. It requires that any increase to an appeal judgment (after a property owner wins a tax case) must align with the overall percentage change in the district's total taxable property value. This directly affects property owners who win tax appeals and taxing districts (municipalities), preventing districts from arbitrarily raising individual property assessments beyond the district-wide trend. If districts exceed this limit, they must prove their actions were reasonable and may be required to pay the property owner's legal fees.
