The Record
If you live in Bergen County, there may be time left to file a tax appeal this year.
Nearly all of the county’s 70 municipalities — 51 in all — received extensions beyond the April 1 deadline, ranging from as little as seven days to May 20 for others, according to a revised list released Thursday by the Bergen County Board of Taxation.
As of today, residents in 46 towns will still have a window to challenge the assessments on their properties and, possibly, reduce their tax bills.
The number of tax appeals filed with the county Tax Board has been steadily increasing in recent years as frustrated taxpayers seek property tax relief by challenging property assessments. With the slump in the real estate market, many residents feel their properties are over-assessed and, as a result, they are paying too much in taxes.
