Assessment Appeal Information & Links:

PLEASE NOTE:  The DEADLINE to file an APPEAL is APRIL 1st of each Tax Year.  If April 1st falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the deadline becomes the first BUSINESS DAY (Monday-Friday) following April 1st.

Annual Notice of Appraised Value and Taxes Billed In the Previous Year:

Each year, Per Chapter 75 (N.J.S.A. 54:3-21), the Municipality mails each property owner a postcard near the end of January of that particular year.  This statutory requirement is the property owner/taxpayer’s official notice of the assessed value of their property for the current tax year.  It also is the official beginning of the appeal process.
IMPORTANT:  The Assessment Notice (post card) is not intended to be used as evidence for income tax deductions.  It is NOT a receipt for taxes.  It contains:

  • The ASSESSED VALUE FOR THE CURRENT TAX YEAR; and,
  • The amount of TAX BILLED for the previous tax year.  The amount of TAX BILLED may or may not be the amount of TAX ACTUALLY PAID.  Because the card arrives near the time that other types of tax information documents arrive, it is often thought to be a receipt document, which it is not.

Should I File An Assessment Appeal?

  • If a property owner does not agree with the assessment, the owner may confer with the Tax Assessor and/or file an appeal with the Camden County Board of Taxation or the New Jersey Tax Court.  This can be done EACH TAX YEAR provided the application is made on or before the APPEAL DEADLINE.
  • An appraised value (assessment) valuation up to and including $1,000,000 MUST be filed with the Camden County Board of Taxation.  Filing with the Tax Court will be returned.
  • An appraised value (assessment) valuation greater than $1,000,000 may file directly with the New Jersey Tax Court.
  • You should not file an assessment appeal because you think your taxes are too high, but only if you think your appraised value (assessment) is too high.  If your “appraised value (assessment on your annual tax notice) divided by your own “appraised value” based on correctly selected and adjusted comparable sales is higher than the “UPPER LIMIT” of the “COMMON LEVEL RANGE” for Voorhees Township in that particular Tax Year, you are probably well-advised to file an appeal.  Before you decide to file an appeal you MUST know and have competent market evidence for the market value of your property on the valuation date for New Jersey Tax Assessments.  As mentioned elsewhere on this page, the “Valuation Date” for Camden County tax assessments is October 1st of the “pre-tax” year.  Uusually 3 to 5 comparable sales that have been properly adjusted for differences will suffice for a residential property.  Commercial, Industrial and/or Special Use property will require different approaches to appraised value.  See above under the title “Assessment Appeal Information & Links” for links to more detailed and MUST READ information on how to prosecute an appeal and to the appeal forms with instructions.
  • In Camden County, the valuation date for appeals is always October 1, of the “Pre-Tax” year.
  • The “COMMON LEVEL RANGE” changes every year.  The Common Level Range for Tax Year 2026 is a ratio of assessment to market vlue between 89.67 % and 100%.
  • When an appeal is filed, the property MUST be inspected to validate the data that is collected by the Township.
  • Appellants are asked to file their data, appraisals, etc. as soon as possible in order to allow a reasonable amount of time for the Township to review the case.
