Rule 8:3-7 Counterclaim In Real Property Tax Cases

If you are a property owner who filed a tax appeal, the other side (usually the town or county) can file a counterclaim against you. A counterclaim is their way of pushing back and arguing that your property should actually be assessed at a higher value than it currently is.

The counterclaim has to follow the same basic rules as other court filings in tax cases. This means it must be written in a specific format, include certain required information, and be properly delivered to the other party.
