Court filing · Tax Court
Tax Court filings are eCourts only
The Tax Court's own page says "All Tax Court cases must be filed in eCourts," and that self-represented taxpayers can file a Tax Court complaint there, so there is nothing for a runner to file in person. We tell you that up front instead of selling you a trip to Trenton.
The Tax Court is the statewide court for state tax and local property tax appeals, with its management office in the Richard J. Hughes Justice Complex in Trenton.
Attorneys without an eCourts account request access with the court's attorney access verification form; self-represented litigants file their complaint in eCourts directly. The court lists its management office as P.O. Box 972, Trenton, NJ 08625-0972, phone 609-815-2922 ext. 54650.
County tax board appeals are a different filing
A local property tax appeal usually starts at the county board of taxation, not the Tax Court. The Division of Taxation lists the deadline as April 1, or May 1 after a town-wide revaluation or reassessment. Each board sets how it takes appeals, so ask the board before you count on a hand delivery.

Board addresses from the Division of Taxation's county tax administrators list (September 2026). We can still pull property records you need for an appeal.

If you represent yourself, you are responsible for your documents: what they say, that they are complete and signed, which court they go to and that they are filed on time. We are not lawyers, we do not give legal advice or draft pleadings, and we cannot guarantee any legal outcome. We file, serve or pull exactly what you send.

Questions
Can you file my Tax Court papers today?
No. Tax Court cases must be filed in eCourts. We can pull property records you need, but the filing itself is yours or your attorney's to make online.
Do attorneys have to e-file in the Tax Court?
Yes, and self-represented taxpayers file in eCourts too.
Will you tell me what to file or check my forms?
No. We aren't lawyers. The judiciary's self-help pages and the county ombudsman can explain the court's forms; an attorney can advise you on your case.
