1) Please bring copy of Your Recent Tax Assessment Notice Card. This was sent to all homeowners on or around February 1st, 2012 by your local tax assessor office. This gives details on how to appeal your assessment and addresses to sent appeal. This card says "THIS IS NOT A BILL".  It has your taxes paid last year and current 2012 tax assessment for your home.


 2) Bring the last quarter Tax Bill with you that was sent by township.


 3) If you can go to the tax assessor’s office, every homeowner has a right to review and receive their property record card. This is the worksheet for everything the tax assessor has calculated the value of your home. Lot size, square footage, decks, pools, improvements, etc.  


 4) If you have had the home appraised in the past few years, this will save time. This OLD APPRAISAL can't be used for tax court, but the information from the past appraisal is very useful for preparing evidence for you tax appeal case.
