If a property owner is dissatisfied with the county judgment, how many days do they have to file an appeal to the tax court?

A property owner who is dissatisfied with a county tax judgment has 45 days to file an appeal to the tax court. This time frame is established under New Jersey law to ensure that there is a clear and defined period during which a property owner can seek redress regarding their tax assessment.

This 45-day period encourages prompt action and helps maintain an efficient process for resolving disputes, ensuring that all parties involved have adequate time to prepare their cases while preventing indefinite delays. By adhering to this timeline, property owners can ensure their appeals are considered, allowing them the opportunity to challenge valuations or decisions they believe to be unjust. This timeframe is integral to the overall tax appeal process, as failing to file within this window can result in the loss of the right to appeal.
