By what date must county boards of taxation hear appeals?

County boards of taxation in New Jersey are required to hear appeals by June 1st. This deadline is set to ensure that property tax assessments are reviewed and resolved in a timely manner, allowing property owners to contest their assessments effectively within a structured timeframe. Meeting this deadline is crucial for both property owners seeking justice in their assessments and for local governments managing tax revenues and planning.

The June 1st cutoff allows for appeals to be addressed before the tax cycle for the year progresses too far, making it more manageable for the boards to conduct hearings during the busy assessment season. This timing helps ensure that property owners receive timely notifications of their assessments and have an opportunity to appeal without undue delay.
