New Jersey High Court Examines State's Involvement in Tax Sale Evictions

New Jersey Supreme Court weighs impact of US high court ruling on tax sale law.

T
he New Jersey Supreme Court recently examined whether the state's Tax Sale Law remains valid following a significant 2023 US Supreme Court decision. This ruling established that the government cannot seize property without providing adequate notice and due process.

    In this context, the court is considering the implications of this precedent on the state's tax sale law, which allows for the seizure of properties with outstanding tax debts. The justices are weighing whether this law still aligns with constitutional requirements for fair treatment and proper notification of affected parties.

New Jersey Supreme Court justices examine tax sale eviction cases statewide.
