Taxpayers need to confirm that this filing deadline change applies to them by obtaining confirmation through the local county board of taxation. The local county board of taxation will confirm whether an approved revaluation or reassessment has been conducted. This change in the law allows taxpayers time to determine whether the new property assessments are fair and equitable and provides time for taxpayers to prepare for the filing of a tax appeal. Under current economic conditions, this change in the law should be welcomed by all taxpayers.
