What is good evidence to convince the Tax Board to reconsider an assessment?
You are not appealing the taxes on your property as the taxes are a result of the municipal budget process. You must be current and pay the collector all taxes and municipal charges through the first quarter of the tax year. The burden is on the appellant to prove that your assessment is incorrect, unreasonable, or excessive. It is also necessary for you to prove from the beginning that your assessment is in error. It is also necessary that you prove a more appropriate value for your property. The taxpayer must present credible evidence supported by fact, not assumptions or beliefs. Photographs of the property being appealed as well of the comparable sales are a useful tool to help illustrate your argument. The most credible evidence is comparable sales which are similar in size style and use and have recently sold and are located within your neighborhood. These comparable sales can be provided at the hearing by your real estate expert, provided that they are presented to the assessor
