Appeal 2012!

From the Record:

North Jersey homeowners seek lower tax assessments (Hat tip Gary)

Watching their property taxes rise as the value of their 82-year-old house dropped, Nora and Pat Sfarra of Teaneck decided to appeal their tax assessment last year. With the help of a tax-appeal company, they were able to get their home’s assessed value reduced from $351,000, to $310,000, knocking about $1,000 off an $8,000-plus annual tax bill.

“I’m satisfied that I got something off,” said Nora Sfarra.

The Sfarras are among the thousands of North Jersey homeowners who have challenged their tax assessments as home values eroded over the past several years. And with the April 2 deadline for filing this year’s tax appeals approaching fast, many homeowners are rushing to get their paperwork in.

The wave of appeals is having an impact on town budgets.

“It’s creating a major problem for communities up and down the state,” said William Dressel, executive director of the state League of Municipalities, which represents towns. “It’s reducing the amount of property taxes going into municipal coffers, which has a direct impact on the towns’ ability to be able to provide adequate services.” The result could be either service cuts or a higher tax rate, he said.

A number of towns have responded to the rise in appeals by conducting town-wide reassessments or revaluations, with the aim of getting valuations in line with actual market values, which makes it harder for homeowners to question their assessments.

And the first thing homeowners need to know is that you can’t appeal your tax bill, just your property’s assessment.

“A lot of people think if they pay too much in taxes, they have an appeal,” said Hackensack lawyer Martin Sharit, who has filed many tax appeals. “But we all pay too much in taxes.”

Teaneck, for example, has a tax ratio of 104 percent — meaning that the town already knows that the properties’ assessments are greater than their actual value. By that formula, a property assessed at $350,000 may really be valued by the town at only about $336,500.

    Bailout Attempt #417

    From HousingWire:

    Freddie CEO signals GSE principal reduction could be soon

    Freddie Mac CEO Charles “Ed” Haldeman gave a strong signal Friday that new incentives from the Treasury Department may be enough to start principal reduction on mortgages backed by the government-sponsored enterprises.

    In January, the Treasury said it would triple incentive payments to mortgage investors who allow principal reduction in Home Affordable Modification Program workouts. The payouts ranged between six and 21 cents to the investors for each dollar forgiven under HAMP, but that will grow to between 18 and 63 cents.

    “I have to say recently the Treasury sweetened the program and tremendously increased the incentive payments in their offer to us,” Haldeman said at HousingWire’s REThink Symposium. “We will reevaluate that to see what may be in our economic best interest. If there are very large incentive payments — which could be 50% of what you could write down — it may be in our economic self-interest to participate in that.”

    There are currently 11.1 million borrowers who owe more on their mortgage than the house is worth, according to CoreLogic ($16.63 0%). Of that, estimates show roughly 3.3 million of those mortgages belong to Fannie and Freddie.

    The GSEs and their regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, long shunned principal reduction. Their biggest fear is moral hazard — that borrowers who are still current on their underwater loan would strategically default in order to get principal written down.

    “We thought principal reduction could have unintended, secondary consequences on other borrowers seeking the same kind of reduction,” Haldeman said.

    One previous analysis showed the GSEs would take significant credit losses if a wide-scale program was put in place. A new analysis from the FHFA, which would cover the new HAMP incentives, is expected to be released in the coming weeks.

    NPR and ProPublica reported Friday the analysis will show a reversal, that principal reduction will work for the GSEs under the new version of HAMP.

    “As we complete the review, the public should understand that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac continue to offer a broad array of assistance to troubled borrowers and have continued to implement HARP 2.0 to enhance refinancing opportunities for underwater borrowers,” FHFA said in a statement.

    From the Record:

    More tax appeals denied as North Jersey towns reject data on low-priced homes

    North Jersey homeowners already squeezed by declining values and high taxes are facing more financial fallout from the housing bust: Towns are making it harder to win a tax appeal, at times with scant justification.

    In growing numbers, municipalities across Bergen and Passaic counties are restricting the pool of “comparable” sales homeowners can cite to contest their property assessments — the key to a successful appeal and the tax relief that comes with it.

    Specifically, the evidence suggests that some local tax assessors are overusing a section of the state tax code that allows them to selectively disqualify properties they believe were sold under financial duress.

    The assessors say it’s their job to review all sales and exclude those that do not reflect true market value. But lawyers and appraisers contend that some assessors are unfairly eliminating transactions that simply reflect the downward trend in housing prices, and not just those influenced by the threat of foreclosure or some other clear evidence of duress.

    The issue has caught the attention of authorities in Trenton. The state reversed 15 percent of these so-called Code 26 exclusions made by assessors in Bergen and Passaic counties from 2009 through mid-2011, after reversing none in 2007 and 2008. Statewide, 11 percent were reversed in the more recent time period, compared with 3 percent in 2007 and 2008.

    The more aggressive stance by assessors comes as municipalities in Bergen and Passaic battle an appeal caseload that has soared from about 5,400 in 2005, to nearly 18,000 last year in the two counties, and at a time when town and school budgets are getting ever tighter. Close to 14,000 appeals have come in so far this year, a week before the April 2 filing deadline.

    The assessors tactics have frustrated people like Bob Traitz of Wyckoff who have seen their appeals be dismissed before county tax boards, decisions that have cost them hundreds, if not, thousands of dollars. He appealed the $922,400 assessment on his circa-1950s five-bedroom, split-level house on the grounds that similar homes are selling for $685,000 to $800,000.

    “My takeaway is that I think their intent was to frustrate me and make me go away,” said Traitz, who lost in 2010 and 2011 after the Wyckoff assessor ruled out most of his comparable sales under Code 26. “The process is very unfair.”

    Wyckoff Assessor Pamela Steele did not return several messages seeking comment on her exclusions, which state officials have reversed about 70 percent of the time in recent years.

    Reading stories like this one makes me really glad I procrastinated going to college and used my employer’s tuition reimbursement. I can’t imagine paying my mortgage and mine and my wife’s student loans.

    It just makes you think…make sure you major in a marketable skill that can be translated in to $$$$. Sometimes I understand why “helicopter” parents are involved in decisions regarding college when it comes to their kids. I wouldn’t want mine to find themselves in a situation where they felt burdened by their debt.

    Last night, we decided to broach the subject of moving out of New Jersey to our 8YO. I expected that as much as she doesn’t like it here, she’d prefer the known to the unknown, and would be against moving.

    We told her that we were thinking of moving, and that she would be in a town where we did not know anyone, and going to a new school with kids she did not know. Also, she would not be much closer to her old Philly friends and would likely not see them any more often. Finally, we would be leaving the ‘brig.

    We said, “knowing all that, would you want to move?”

    She said without hesistation: “Yes.”

    Glen Ridge is going to do another reval 4 years after the last one. They have a tax short fall, so taxes are going up cap or no cap. A friend of mine lives in Southampton NY pays 4500 in property taxes, another in Hopkinton MA pays 3400 (both live on 3/4 acre lots & have in ground pools), we pay 14k (less than 1/2 acre no pool). Over a 10 year period will pay on average 100k dollars more in property taxes for the privilege of living in NJ. I find it hard to believe that over that same period the cost of living in those areas would be more than 10k dollars a year over my current expenses., but what do I know.

I hope her lawyer (who is also Lloyd Blankfein’s criminal lawyer) can get her up on the stand this week with immunity in front of Congress and the Grand Jury and she sings like a canary.

  15. JJ says:

    The ugly side of grieving is when you no longer can get your taxes lowered as your home is fairly valued the next step is to file grievances on neighbors homes that are under assesed to get their taxes raises.

    Normally in assessments 1/3 are overvalued, 1/3 undervalued and 1/3 fairly valued.

    The overvalued grieve their taxes, the fairly valued may grieve their taxes and the undervalued just keep quiet. When house hunting last year I ran across a home for sale on 2.3 acres, 4,000 square feet, six bedrooms, three car garage in ground pool mint condition, taxes at $9,300 a year. In a town where similar homes were taxes at 23K. Suprisingly he never grieved his taxes. The neighbors should go through records like this. It sounds terrible. But the 1/3 in every town who are undertaxed are often the main reason the 1/3 that is overtaxed pays so much taxes.

    Hey Bob, don’t you know that if one can’t afford to live here, one should consider moving out of State? We’re prestigious here, we’re bleeding wealth. Didn’t you know that? High taxes are a sign of privilege and besides, it keeps the riff-raff out. And the children!! Good heavens, think of the children! Of course, there’s always the option to sell. I have a feeling your house is more special than all the rest. Think of all those mutiple bids over asking price you’ll receive by the end of the weekend!

  18. Comrade Nom Deplume says:

    In preparation for the Big Decision, I did some prelim research and house prices in the brig are depressing me. My estimates of how much I will lose if I sell were spot on.

    OTOH, the brig is still a place where renting beats buying, so I may be forced into becoming a landlord in order to keep my losses to a minimum. I figure roughly that I can undercut the market and still be cash positive with enough cushion to eat away at my losses over time and hope for improvement (yes, gary, I know, I know).

    So does anyone want to rent in Brigadoon on the cheap?

  20. Fiddy Cents on the Dollar says:

    Code 26 is a Joke.

    Non-Usable Code 26 states, and I quote “Sales which for some reason other than specified in the other Enumerated Categorie,s are not deemed to be a transaction between a Willing Buyer, not compelled to buy, and a Willing Seller, not compelled to sell.”

    In other words, it’s a Catch-All that the Assessor can use at his whim to disallow a Sale that he feels is not Market-Driven. So your Comp Killers are off the table when you appeal your tax assessment.

    Thank You for paying your Assessment Appeal Fee, see the Bailiff as you exit the Courtroom.

  21. Marty says:

    All Hype – by October of this year. Town receipts are down 1.2 million dollars due to the outdated assesments (4 years old). The state needs to approve the reval, but in my opinion its a done deal. We can let the poor students of the state suffer any cutbacks in spending anywhere.

    Here’s a fun fact, in roughly 10 years NJ’s population has grown 5.4%, its revs have grown roughly 50%, and the state budget has grow by roughly 130 %. Winning!

    Having a hard time getting lawn crews to do my yard cleanup. Just too much for me right now but I have guys saying that they have enough work and can’t handle anymore. The neighbors hired back their guy and crew after a two year hiatus and warned me that the only reason they got him back was that they were former customers. Another neighbor is in the business but I can’t get him to look at my yard even though he said he would.

    It’s not like taxes and benefits are an issue, so it must be sheer volume. I have seen a lot more crews around here than in recent years.

    Up 9% year over year, and this is a disappointment? Huh?

    From CNBC:

    Pending Homes Sales Fall, Raising Questions About Recovery

    Pending home sales edged lower in February, according to a report Monday from the National Association of Realtors, raising questions about the housing market recovery.

    The pending home sales index slipped by 0.5 percent to 96.5 in February from 97.0 the previous month, but it was up 9.2 percent from the year-earlier period.

    Economists polled by Reuters had expected signed contracts, which lead existing home sales by a month or two, to advance 1 percent, after a previously reported 2.0 percent rise.

    “The spring homebuying season looks bright because of an elevated level of contract offers so far this year,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said we’re seeing the continuation of an uneven but higher sales pattern. “If activity is sustained near present levels, existing-home sales will see their best performance in five years.”

    Pending sales were strongest in the Midwest, where they jumped 6.5 percent — a 19 percent increase from February 2011.

    The weakest region for sales was in the South, where they fell 3 percent. In the West, pending sales dropped 2.6 percent in February to 99.3, while in the Northeast they were down 0.6 percent.

  27. NJGator says:

    All Hype 19 – The new assessments would take effect for the 2013 tax year. My guess is that the new assessment number for any home you are looking at will not be available until end of 2012/beginning of 2013.

    The assessment should be in general a downward assessment…..so if you want to err on the side of caution, if the home you are looking at is assessed for less that what you will be paying for it, assume that the reassessment will result in a higher tax bill for the property.

    If this is done fairly (and I have no reason to assume that it will be), I would expect to see entry level homes in the south end to see tax increases. Many of these properties are still selling for quite a bit more than the assessment. Of course the town just might throttle everyone’s assessment downward creating defendable assessments for those currently assessed too high, without fairly redistributing the tax burden as they should be.

  28. NJGator says:

    I really despise bad journalism. Did The Record merely talk to some misinformed idiot in the Teaneck Tax Assessor’s office? The below statement is actually BS. The assessor does not get a 15% margin when your property is assessed more than it is worth. Your home is never allowed to be assessed more than 100% of what it is worth period. A homeowner could show their home is only worth $349,000 and would still be entitled to a reduction. And the “15% margin” is only on the average ratio. If you’re town’s AR is 50%….the buffer your town is going to get is going to be up to 57.5% of value.

    “On top of that, tax assessors get a 15 percent margin in calculating values. So the owner of that property assessed at $350,000 would need to prove in his appeal, using recent comparable sales, that the value of the house is $286,025 or less.”

There are still huge losses sitting out there in bank and non bank owned homes. Go look in Bloomfield, they’re everywhere. Looked at 2 myself, and their asking price is still to high when one adds in the cost of repair in both cases structural issuses.
