Rule 8:6-6 Local Property Tax Cases; Case Management Notice

When you file a complaint in a Tax Court property tax case, the Tax Court Management Office will send a case management plan to everyone involved in the case. This plan is a document that lays out important dates and information about how your case will move forward.

The plan tells you when you need to finish gathering evidence and information (called discovery), around when your trial will likely happen, and who your case manager is. It also explains what to expect for case management and settlement meetings along the way.

The plan will also let you know that any party in the case can ask to be moved to a different track if needed. A "track" refers to which process your case follows, such as standard, small claims, or farmland and exemption. If your situation changes or you think your case belongs in a different category, you have the option to request that change.
