Hi, I just bought a home in Bayonne,NJ, I moved here in Dec 2016.

But it has very high taxes like $16000 in 2016, it has unfinished basement.

I have noticed that this tax is almost $4000 higher than similar houses with even finished basement.

So, I want to try tax assessment.

I will appreciate if somebody could please advise me some attorney/Lawyer for the same.

I think attorney can be anywhere with in state like Hoboken, Bayonne, Union, Jersey city, Newark , Elizabeth, Clifton, Edison etc...as long as she/he has good knowledge of New jersey laws.

Thanks in advance.

Raj G. As far as I know(not a lawyer), you basically have to show the municipality 3 comps for like properties and their associated taxes. With the assistance of a professional of course, this should prove satisfactory to lowering your property taxes.
