West Orange Tax Assessment

Hi New homeowner here and we just bought March of 2022. We just got a notice in the mail about Property Reassessment. We live in West Orange, NJ.

When moving in, we redid our kitchen, installed a new central a/c system, had an electrical service, fixed some small plumbing issues, and redid the flooring in one of the rooms.

Also the last assessment was done almost 12 years ago and very undervalued compared to purchase price: Purchase price was 525k and and current assessed value is $296,900.

We have some other comparable on my street that did major remodeling/new constructions that have a lower assessed value than me.

They left a note on my door asking to do an interior inspection and the brochure they sent threatened that if we don't do an interior inspection they will assume the highest possible value.

I have no experience with these assessments before and wanted to get everyone's thoughts. Should we let them in at all? Is it worth letting them in and seeing what they come up with and then disputing it? If I ever do an official appeal, I have to let them do the interior inspection before I can appeal.

Thanks everyone in advance for your inputs.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
