Property Tax Workshop
March 18, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm EDT
Do you think you are paying too much in property taxes? Come to a free workshop to learn how you can submit an appeal (without a lawyer) to reduce your taxes. This workshop is being sponsored by Jersey City Together. It will be held Saturday, March 18th at 10:00 am at New Hope Missionary Baptist Church at 472 Bergen Avenue.
- Homeowners who own a home SOUTH of Communipaw (Greenville & Bergen Lafayette) are likely to be able to save money on their taxes through an appeal starting this year (See a map here — red & orange areas are the most likely to see significant tax savings)
- If you have a chance, please reach out to those homeowners individually & encourage them to join us.
- If they are unsure, we will have real estate agents available to quickly check whether it is worth applying for an appeal.
- All they need to bring to the workshop is their address! (and basic knowledge of their home — how many bedrooms, etc.)
- If successful, homeowners in these neighborhoods may see savings of $1000+ per year.
- The workshop and support we are providing is free.
Lastly, we are asking homeowners to sign up to arrive at 10am, 11am or 12pm, so that we can spread people out. Ideally, we should be able to move people through the workshop fairly quickly.
