NOW is the Time to Consider a Commercial Property Tax Appeal!
Date Published: 2/2/2026
The filing deadline for 2026 New Jersey tax appeals is April 1, 2026 (if a property is located in a revalued or reassessed district, the filing deadline is extended to May 1, 2026).
If you own or lease a commercial property, now is the time to consider a real estate tax appeal. With recent appreciation of residential values, ratios of assessed to market value have dropped in most municipalities. The ratio drop generates opportunities for commercial property owners and net lease tenants to reduce their real estate taxes. In addition, if your property is in a revaluation/reassessment town, there may be an opportunity to file a successful appeal.
We are currently reviewing our clients’ properties for the upcoming appeal deadlines and would be happy to review yours to determine if a 2026 property tax appeal is warranted. We review our current and new clients’ properties at no cost or obligation and if we recommend an appeal we handle the vast majority on a contingent fee basis, but also offer hourly arrangements if that is preferred.
