How long does a property tax appeal take?

The timeline for a property tax appeal in New Jersey depends on the county. Most appeals filed by the April 1 deadline are heard by the county Board of Taxation between April and June. You typically receive a decision within a few weeks after the hearing. If you appeal the county's decision to the state Tax Court, the process can take 12 to 18 months or longer.

Why It Matters

Understanding the timeline helps you set expectations and plan accordingly. If your appeal succeeds, any overpayment is refunded for the current tax year.
