Property Tax Appeal Appraisals in Ocean County, NJ
You can't appeal your tax bill — but you can appeal your assessment. If your home is assessed above its true market value, a certified appraisal is the credible evidence the County Board of Taxation actually weighs. A printout from a home-value website is not.
I'm Mike Corso, a NJ Certified Residential Appraiser (License #42RC00273800) with Jiffy Appraisals, LLC, based in Manchester Township. I prepare tax appeal appraisals for homeowners across Ocean County and Monmouth County: an independent, USPAP-compliant opinion of your home's market value, built from comparable sales and documented the way a tax board expects to see it.
Free screening first. Not every assessment is worth appealing. Under New Jersey's Chapter 123 rules, there's a corridor your assessment has to fall outside before an appeal can succeed — I'll screen your property against it for free and tell you honestly whether an appeal has a real chance before you spend anything.
One flat fee. If the screening says go, the appraisal is $475 flat — no percentage of savings, no contingency, no surprise charges. If your case goes to a hearing and you need me there, testimony is billed separately at $150 per appearance, quoted up front.
Deadlines matter. Ocean County appeals are generally due April 1; Monmouth County's deadline is January 15. In a revaluation or reassessment year the dates can shift, so the earlier you call, the more room we have to build the case properly. Reports are typically delivered in 7–10 business days.
What you get: a physical inspection of your home by the appraiser who signs the report, a certified appraisal you can file with confidence, and a straight answer at every step. My fee is never tied to the outcome — the report says what the market says, which is precisely why boards take it seriously.
To start: text or call (609) 323-5591, or email jiffyappraisals33@gmail.com with your address. The screening is free; if an appeal makes sense, I'll confirm the flat fee and schedule the inspection.
