By Timothy P. Duggan

Right now all New Jersey homeowners are paying more attention to the amount they pay in property taxes, and many are exploring the possibility of retaining a tax appeal lawyer to help them reduce their property tax burden.  Below are some of the benefits that property owners receive when they hire a lawyer who practices in the tax appeal arena:

• Tax appeal lawyers have relationships with real estate appraisers that specialize in New Jersey tax appeals.
• Tax appeal lawyers also have relationships with many of the municipal tax assessors and tax revaluation companies which can help in tax reduction negotiations.
• Many tax appeal lawyers can represent clients before both the tax board and the New Jersey Tax Court.
• Experienced tax appeal lawyers can provide homeowners with honest assessments on difficult cases.
