This certainly makes sense rather than to have the case drawn out for a year or more in tax court with great expense to both the taxpayer and the jurisdicition in appraisal, legal and consultant fees. A better scenario is for the jurisdicition and taxpayer to attempt to resolve assessment differences prior to the filing of an appeal. This approach is often successful in NJ. When it doesn't work, the filing of an appeal is the only option left for the corporate tax payer.
