Not for nothing, but the reval has been discussed over the course of *years* not days. The reval began in Fulop's inaugural year (2013). That means people have had 4 years to prepare and "phase in" the potential cost of their tax bill. They have been able to determine whether they can afford or not the increased cost.

Issue some bonds ? the City's credit ratings keep getting upgraded.

The disruptive effects of huge tax increases have to be worse than some medium-term City borrowing. Leaving it to the individual homeowner to borrow is problematic as many won't have the income stream to support the loan, be old enough for a reverse mortgage, or have the necessary documents for the very onerous loan application process....

It can't be impossible for the City to help, they just need to be willing.

And, at the same time, for those with large increases, say over $5,000 per year, allow a ?phase-in? period of several years, for example, 5 years. One requirement being that over the course of the phase-in period the entire amount of taxes owed would be fully paid. At the end of the ?phase-in? the yearly taxes would revert to the ?correct? amount. If the property is sold or otherwise transferred in the meantime, the entire balance owed as of the sale/transfer date would become due and payable immediately.

It has taken successive City Administrations 25 years of irresponsibility to arrive at the mess the City is in today regarding this reval. It's not any way reasonable to try to ?fix? it all over the course of just 6 months. Yes, for those who are due to receive a tax cut, give it immediately. But the economic harm of a huge tax increase delivered over 6 months will severely and adversely impact many people.

The negligence and intransigence of City Government, resulting in this looming mess, is one of the reasons I sold my property and moved to a rental. When it becomes apparent to people what is going to happen with their taxes I anticipate a distinct cooling in the property market. I might buy back in at that point, although the fiscal mess at the State level is also a major negative for me.

Because you'd have to explain to the people overpaying, who outnumber the underpaying, why you're going to to delay their tax reduction.

Thank you Yorkster. I'm definitely surprised the phase in option isn't on the table. That's going to be a crushing blow to a lot of people.

Yes, based on an expected 1.8%, your taxes will be $28,800. Taxes will not be phased in. That amount will be due in 2018, however because City budget tends to not be set until end of 2Q, what is done is that for first half of 2018, you pay 50% of your 2017 taxes (e.g., assume 50% of $12k = $6k). Then in 3Q/4Q the balance is due. Which in your case would be $22,800. Hope that makes sense. I'm in similar situation so I expect a hefty bill 2nd half of 2018.

Regardless of how much I paid when I bought, my taxes will now be based on the current market value of my home? So if our neighbors sold for $1.6 million recently am I to expect my tax bill to jump to the $28-$30k range as a result?

Do we expect this to be phased in or done in one swift move? A friend was told this week by the tax office not to expect any changes in tax bills until 3rd quarter 2018 and I find that hard to believe. Thought it would be in place by end of year 2017?

Unless something has changed you will not pay higher taxes then the previous owner. There are some waterfront high-rises however where taxes are reset upon the purchase price. This formula would have saved a lot of heartache for Jersey city but it is not used city wide.


While this is true ordinarily, the question was in context of the reval. If you buy before the reval, the assessment will be reset like all non-abated properties. Simply calculate what % of the sale price is the taxes and if it's less than 1.8% expect them to go up to that.

Much depends on how long ago the condo was built or condoed. A 100 year old building condoed a few years ago will not see taxes rise since the assessments were set at that time and are not wildly innacurate like the older properties DT.


There are certain waterfront properties that reset upon purchase.

Hoboken did a reval just a few years ago. The market did not soften. Don't count on it.

Well,
You run the risk of the market softening in my opinion due to high revals, but it will probably be short lived. This area rebounded well after the 2007 crash. There are a lot of cash buyers waiting for a small dip.

"Nothing" except exactly what I said (from the FAQ on ASI's website):

"Can I refuse entry to the field inspector?

Yes, you may refuse entry to your home, but is in your best interest to see that as much information as possible is gathered to help insure an accurate assessment. If an appraiser cannot inspect the inside of a building, it's possible an inaccurate assessment may result. The law provides that a property can be assessed at the highest reasonable value if the field inspector is denied entry.

The revaluation program should not be seen as an adversarial situation. Property owners have a vested interest in the outcome of the project and their cooperation is vital to achieve an equitable revaluation. If one person's property is under-assessed, all the other property owners in the municipality will pay higher taxes to make up for the discrepancy. Conversely, if property owners deny access to the field inspector they could wind up being over-assessed and pay more than their fair share of taxes."

I have no idea why you're so angry about this. It's common sense that if you're trying to get accurate data about every property in the city, and you have some properties about which you still have questions, you need to assume best-case scenario on those properties. In that case, owners who think you got it wrong in their case (they've been over-assessed) will willingly give you that information, improving the quality of your data. If you err on the side of under-assessing, owners who know you made a mistake (they've been under-assessed) will likely not tell you.


Ok, you are right, and I'm sorry about my prior post. There's just so much bad info out there, that it's tough to sort through the bull sometimes, but that's no excuse in this situation.

Not just that, if someone's overassessed enough there's something they can do about it, if they underassess, it stands until the next reval.

Looking again at the 15% issue, I think it effectively does mean 15% of fmv since after a reval the ratio is 100%. So to exceed the ratio by 15% one's assessment must exceed FMV by that amount.

I think the idea is not to clutter tax court with people attempting to lower their taxes minute amounts every year. But the actual math seems not be 15% of value, but 15% of the difference between the official ratio and your ratio.

Can anyone decipher this from a NJ document? Maybe I'm just tired but I can't.

If the ratio of assessed value to true value
exceeds the average ratio by 15%, the
assessment is reduced to the common level.

Example
Director?s Ratio = 85%
Common Level Range = 72.25%-97.75%
True Value = $95000
Assessment = $94000
Ratio = 98.95% ($94000?$95000)
Judgment = Reduction in assessed value
New Assessment = $80750 ($95000 x 85%)
However, if the assessment falls within this
common level range, no adjustment is made.

Example
Director?s Ratio = 85%
Common Level Range = 72.25%-97.75%
True Value = $95000
Assessment = $90000
Ratio = 94.74% ($90000?$95000)
Judgment = No change in assessed value
If the assessed value to true value ratio falls
below the common level, the Tax Board must
increase the assessment to the common level.

Example
Director?s Ratio = 85%
Common Level Range = 72.25%-97.75%
True Value = $95000

Can you post a link to this Q&A? There's so much misinformation and disinformation out there, so I want to read that for myself on a reputable site.


I was referring mostly to the in-person Q&As that were held with ASI throughout the city in April. Civic Parent has a good recap of the Ward A one here: https://civicparent.org/news/jersey-ci ... tion-meetings-highlights/

There's also a JC-specific landing page on ASI's site (and their FAQ pages have a lot of useful info as well): http://asinj.com/revaluation.asp?p=current&id=359

ETA: ASI's site lists one more upcoming presentation at Lincoln High on 6/29 from 7:30PM - 8:30PM.

The info from ASI states that you can schedule a one-on-one meeting with them to discuss your valuation (after it's released, obviously). This is an informal avenue for adjustment.

They also say that if you still aren't satisfied, you can appeal to the County Board of Taxation (also an informal process), and then to the NJ State Tax Court (formal). They don't mention any threshold for appeal. (Which doesn't mean there isn't one, particularly for Tax Court.)

So if some units in your building have been renovated with upgraded appliances and some have not, they will assume yours is one of the renovated ones unless they can get in to see otherwise.


Can you post a link to this Q&A? There's so much misinformation and disinformation out there, so I want to read that for myself on a reputable site.


I was referring mostly to the in-person Q&As that were held with ASI throughout the city in April. Civic Parent has a good recap of the Ward A one here: https://civicparent.org/news/jersey-ci ... tion-meetings-highlights/

There's also a JC-specific landing page on ASI's site (and their FAQ pages have a lot of useful info as well): http://asinj.com/revaluation.asp?p=current&id=359

ETA: ASI's site lists one more upcoming presentation at Lincoln High on 6/29 from 7:30PM - 8:30PM.

So if your assessment comes in at $1M but the FMV should be at $850K, a person does not have the right to appeal because it's not greater than >15%? If so, that homeowner would be overpaying their taxes by $2700 (assuming 1.8%). How is that fair?

15% over FMV to successfully appeal.

Hey AlexC??? My lawyer is standing by with our contract!!

If you really wanted what you said you wanted you'd jump at it. But as I guessed, what you really want is to have it both ways as you've had up till now. No reval until sale? Put yourself in your new neighbor's shoes paying 2 or 3 times your tax. Fair?

Honestly, I think it's unfair that people under 62 like AlexC possibly is can't take out reverse mortgages to pay their tax. Let the market set the rate for the potentially lengthened time to payoff.
