This is par for the course in NJ. This woman still has a little fight left in her, but they will wear her down. Her only hope is to move.

She shoulda moved to Texas. Down here, once one turns 65 their property taxes are frozen and can’t go up any further, although they can go down if said property should be devalued. God Bless Texas...
So, do these assessors have a “right” to enter her home for an inspection? I don’t live in NJ, but I had a situation where an assessor was on my property measuring the house dimensions. It was late, I was alone, and after asking him a few questions, he started making me very nervous. I asked him to leave and then he started geting really beligerent. I threatened to call the police, he finally left, but not after sitting in his truck making all kinds of notes.
When I complained to the county office that does the assessments, they said he had every right to enter my property without my permission. Pretty frightening, actually. Guess they’ve gotten lucky and people haven’t shot them for tresspassing or had dogs like I used to have.
