Hudson County Property Tax Increase/Appeal

[Andre Taylor-Domville]

Hello all,

I recently received a notice that my Hudson County, NJ property's taxes have been randomly increased by over 8k due to improvements made. This came as a huge shock to me and it essentially doubles my already high taxes. To make matters worse I haven't even made any improvements and was told this increase was due to improvements made by the last owner almost five years ago which seemed ridiculous to me. I was contacted by a legal firm who specializes in tax appeals and I am awaiting to hear back to schedule a consultation. I was reaching out here to see if anyone else in the area has received such an extreme increase in taxes or if anyone has any experience with the appeals process in Hudson County or anywhere else for that matter. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!
