Do you know the landlord? As far as I know is that they couldn't run the business anymore because of family issues as they told me! So don't blame it always on landlords when something went wrong with a business! Landlords are not always the beast of burden!!!!!!!!

a reform of something doesn't mean that it is positive and a reformer don't even do what you want or like.
A reform can be worse or can be better, it is the point of view !!! So don't expect too much .....

I agree !

I THOUGHT THAT THE PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM ARE MORE DEDICATED TO THEIR CITY THAN OTHERS BUT I'M MISTAKEN AND REGRET THAT I EVER MADE ANY COMMENT ON THIS SIDE.
I THOUGHT I HAVE A REAL GOOD AND INDEPENDEND FORUM NOT COLORED BY ANY POLITICAL VIEW BUT IT TURNS OUT TO BE A LIE.

GOOD BYE AND HAVE BEAUTYFULL YEARS IN THIS CITY BUT PLEASE DON'T COMPLAIN AGAIN!!!

Mr Hamster ,
you are right, nobody can judge the work that had been done by previous owners or people or citizens. It is just a question of what kind of law or rule or judgement or common sense we compare that dilemma we are in now.
Mayor Fulop now raised taxes again nearly 8% despite he promised not to go this way.
It is the government which sucks all the money and tell us it is necessary to keep us save and calm and of course to get us all to fight against each other so they can do what they want because we are involved in our daily struggle. Nothing more I wanted to say that the government will never be like we the people want them to be. So my attention is not to fight against each other, but to question decision made by our so to say leaders.
Nobody in Europe is as jealous as people here when somebody has more than them or they are more honest and courage to talk openly about it and don't use any excuse, that's my experience with Europe so far.

That's all I have to say now.

who are you to judge me to apply fair share???
I do pay more than you ever could imagine !! So what are you accusing me for???

Have a nice sleep!!!

THANK YOU FOR CALLING ME A TROLL!! I LOVE THAT BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I SAID AND YOU DIDN'T COPY ALL OF MY WRITING CORRECTLY!!
SO DON'T FOUL AROUND !!!!!

I don't understand why are you so angry about it. Of course
as I already wrote in another reply , I hate people who are jealous and envious about people who own a property longer than you could imagine and you all haven't even been planned to come to this earth. So these people who own a property longer than any youngster in this city has now to pay more than anybody who just bought a property or house?? This is not fair!!! Don't you know that after every sale taxes went up automatically and that is not a fault the old citizens , no , it happened because the sellers want to get the best price on the market and made a lot of renovation and improvement to the property that the taxes went up . So don't complain, it's still cheaper than NYC and you all know this. You all want to live in a nice surrounding but still want to pay less than others who worked more than you all ever did . These people helped to make "Dirty City" to be Jersey City as you know it now and as you love it sooo much, so please ,there must be common sense about this topic.

Depending who you are talking to about the price of a house you have to be clear what numbers you are using. If you?re not both referring to the same lingo, you could each walk away from the conversation thinking different things and not knowing it. Here are some definitions that may be helpful.

The Appraised Value of a property is an opinion of the value of a home prepared by an Appraiser. His opinion is based on a number of factors or methods of determining the value. He will look at things such as recent sales of similar properties, replacement cost and his own knowledge of the local marketplace. Lending institutions will typically use the appraised value in determining the total amount of money they are willing to lend when the property buyer is applying for a mortgage.
The Assessed Value of a home is the value determined by the tax assessor for the local city or town. This value is used by the municipality to determine the amount of tax that the property owner must pay. The Assessed value will often be multiplied by a mil (Millage) rate to determine the actual tax. In other words if the property has an assessed value of $100,000.00 and the mil rate is 5, the tax on the property would be 5 X 100 or $500.
The Market Value of a home is the probable price that a house will sell for if it is put on the market. It is determined by an analysis of the market (usually by a Realtor). The analysis should include looking at similar properties that have sold within recent times as well as looking at similar prices for homes currently on the market. In addition, if done properly, the analysis should also include those homes that were put on the market but did NOT sell, and were withdrawn.
The List Price of a home is a number assigned by the seller when he puts his home on the market. It is essentially what he hopes to sell his property before. It has no formal mathematical relationship to the actual market value of the home. In determining the list price, any reputable Realtor will recommend that it be very close to the Market Value if the seller wishes to sell in a timely fashion.
The sale price of a home is the actual price that the home most recently sold for.

Sleep well!

What are you all talking about?
I don't care about any mayor or government cause they are all the same.
I hate people who are jealous and envious towards others who have a property for 30 years more like old people who are citizens when you all haven't even planned to come to earth. These people worked hard to have their own houses . Now you are buying property in this city , what was called " Dirty City" and nobody really wanted to move to Jersey City in that time. Now it is a convenient place to be and much cheaper than NYC and YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT EQUALITY???

What is the difference between tax assessed value and market value? This is one of those issues that confuse many buyers and sellers. Tax assessed value and market value are not the same. The tax value can be lower or higher than the market value. If the tax assessed value is higher than the suggested list price, a seller might reference it to support why he feels his house is worth more. If the tax assessed value is lower than the list price, a buyer might reference it to support why he feels the house is worth less. Neither would be correct.

The true value of a property is determined by its market value. Market value is the highest price likely to be paid for a property, assuming that the property was available to all potential buyers at a realistic price or a reasonable length of time. Additionally, neither buyer nor seller was prevented from learning all of the facts about the property and its place in the market. Tax assessed value is determined by most counties using some complicated math formula that re-appraises all the properties in the county at one time. Moreover, there is inconsistency among properties assessed by the tax assessor because many homeowners protest their taxes in the Spring to keep their taxes low. In those cases this result in a different value being placed on their properties and that of their neighbors with similar homes.

The most common approach to property value is Market Analysis or Comparable Approach. Both determine prices paid for similar properties in the neighborhood by analyzing recently sold properties. Recently sold is any property closed preferably within the last six months in the same neighborhood, typically within 1/4 to 1/2 mile from the subject property. The Tax assessor's office doesn't have access to comparable sales that are MLS(Multiple Listing Service) to determine your property's true market value. Therefore, the tax assessed value should never be assumed to mean market value.


Have a nice day
