What affects an apartment building assessment
NJPTC reviews whether the current assessment and implied market value are consistent with the property's operating performance and market position. A building with below-market rents, significant vacancy, unusually high expenses, deferred maintenance, concessions, or an unstable unit mix may require a different analysis from a fully occupied and stabilized property.
The review may consider both the income approach and sales of comparable apartment properties. The weight given to each form of evidence depends on the building, available records, and market data.

Frequently asked questions
What records should an apartment owner provide?
Start with the assessment, annual tax bill, rent roll, unit mix, occupancy, recent income and expense statements, and any NJPTC letter. Leases, appraisals, purchase documents, photographs, and repair information may also help.
Can vacancy or deferred maintenance affect the review?
Yes. Vacancy, concessions, condition, deferred maintenance, and unusually high expenses may affect income and market value when the evidence is reliable and property-specific.
Are apartment sales the only evidence used?
No. Comparable sales may matter, but income, expenses, occupancy, market rents, and capitalization evidence can be especially important for an income-producing property.
