Deadline. Appeals to the county board of taxation must be received on or before April 1, or 45 days after the bulk mailing of the assessment notices is completed in the town, whichever is later. In a town that implemented a municipal-wide revaluation or reassessment, the deadline is May 1. A deadline on a weekend or legal holiday moves to the next business day.

Next regular deadline: Apr 1, 2027. Properties assessed over $1,000,000 may file directly with the NJ Tax Court by the same deadline.
