Revised 11/2013, CN 11003 (Taxpayer Local Property Tax Complaint)
Dear Taxpayer:
Please be sure that you have enclosed all of the following documents:
1. Civil Action Complaint Form - Must be completely filled out and signed. NOTE - In a Tax Court complaint
where the taxpayer is the plaintiff, the proper defendant is the municipality.
2. Local Property Tax Case Information Statement - If your complaint includes more than one contiguous
property, you must complete a separate case information statement for each property.
3. Proof of Service - The proof of service form is sent to the Tax Court Management Office only. In this form,
you certify that you delivered, personally or by ordinary mail, a copy of your complaint to the Assessor,
Clerk and County Board of Taxation.
4. Copy of the County Board of Taxation Judgment - If your complaint includes more than one contiguous
property, you must attach a separate county board of taxation judgment for each separately assessed property.
A separate complaint must be filed for each tax year for each separately assessed property. See Rule 8:3-1(c)
for exceptions. If an assessment is over $750,000, a copy of the Notice of Assessment card or tax bill must be
attached to the complaint for each separately assessed property.
5. Correct Filing Fee - Be sure to enclose the correct filing fee (payable to the Treasurer, State of New Jersey)
with the complaint. See Tax Court Rule 8:12 in the booklet entitled Rules Governing the Tax Court, Part
VIII. Your complaint will not be processed until you submit the correct filing fee.
Shortly after your complaint has been docketed, you will receive a Case Management Notice. The Case
Management Notice will contain the docket number assigned to your complaint, important information about
dates for completion of discovery, the anticipated month and year of your trial, as well as the name of the case
manager to contact should you have any questions.
For cases assigned to the STANDARD TRACK, please note that you should not file the Mandatory Settlement
Conference Report with your complaint. Your Case Management Notice will also contain important information
about the month and year during which the Mandatory Settlement Conference is to be held. You must participate
in the Mandatory Settlement Conference and complete the Mandatory Settlement Conference Report at that time.
Please see the Rules Governing the Tax Court, Part VIII for further information on the requirements for local
property tax cases.
If, after reviewing these documents, you decide not to continue with this appeal, you should complete the form
labeled Withdrawal of Complaint and return that document to the Tax Court Management Office. You do not
need to complete the other documents contained in this package if you are withdrawing your case.

Revised 11/2013, CN 11003 (Taxpayer Local Property Tax Complaint)
NOTE:
1. The use of this printed complaint form is optional. If another form is used, it must set forth the claim for relief
and the facts on which the claim is based. The form of the complaint shall conform to the rules of court. The
wording in this sample form may be modified to conform to the claim made and relief sought in a particular
case. However, the applicable Local Property Tax Case Information Statement (CIS-LP) must be attached to
the face of the complaint.
2. If the complaint contests the assessments of condominium units, the complaint will consist of the following: a
single case information statement (not one for each separate condominium unit), to which is attached the
condominium schedule in the form required by the Court, both of which shall be attached to the face of the
complaint.
3. A local property tax assessment complaint for review of the action of the County Board of Taxation must be
received in the Tax Court Management Office within the 45 day time period provided by the rules of court,
together with the proof of service as required and with the correct filing fee.
A local property tax appeal that is not an added or omitted assessment and exceeds $1,000,000 or a local
property tax appeal that is an added or omitted assessment and exceeds $750,000 may be filed directly with
the Tax Court. The complaint must be received in the Tax Court Management Office on or before April 1 of
the tax year.
In a taxing district where a municipal-wide revaluation or a municipal-wide reassessment has been
implemented, complaints that qualify for direct review of the assessment by the Tax Court must be filed on or
before May 1 of the tax year.
4. If the complaint seeks review of the judgment of the county board of taxation, the proper defendant is the
municipality, not the county board of taxation or the municipal assessor.
5. If the complaint is a direct appeal to the Tax Court, a copy of the Notice of Assessment card or tax bill must be
attached.
6. A tenant who is entitled to file a complaint to contest a local property tax assessment shall state whether the
tenant has the authorization of the owner to file the complaint. The tenant shall serve a copy of the complaint
on the record owner of the property in accordance with Rule 8:5-3(a)(8).
Please note:
Rule 1:38-7(b) requires attorneys and self-represented litigants to redact (remove) confidential personal identifiers
from all documents prior to filing, unless required by statute, court rule, administrative directive or court order.
Rule 1:38-7(a) defines a confidential personal identifier as a Social Security number, driver's license number,
vehicle plate number, insurance policy number, active financial account number, or active credit card number.
An active financial account number may be identified by the last four digits when the account is the subject of
litigation and cannot otherwise be identified.
It is not the responsibility of court staff to redact (remove) confidential personal identifiers when included in
pleadings or other documents submitted to the court.
NOTICE: This is a public document, which means the document as submitted will be available to the public upon request. Therefore,
do not enter personal identifiers on it, such as Social Security number, driver’s license number, vehicle plate number, insurance policy
number, active financial account number, or active credit card number.
