WATCH VIDEO.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Main sent some of his findings to the State of New Jersey, Office of the State Comptroller. (Lightly edited for clarity)<\/p>\n<p>Re:&nbsp; City of Brigantine Tax Practices<\/p>\n<p>Who protects the elderly, the poor and those that can&#8217;t fight Brigantine City Hall from being unfairly taxed out of their homes?<\/p>\n<p>I have just finished a study of the City of Brigantine tax evaluation and tax appeal practices. This all started when I was doing a very simple tax appeal for my 2nd home on the island.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When I found un-explainable road blocks, city government hurdles and completely illogical conclusions reached by the Brigantine tax collector, I began to dig deeper.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The following is what I have uncovered. I believe all the information is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I have spent hundred hours on this research so far.<\/p>\n<p>I looked at over 300 real estate transactions. I think these results warrant a serious in-depth investigation into the City of Brigantine and it&#8217;s tax practices.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There was a 2014 property revaluation. Based on the 2014 revaluation, a majority of sale prices should be higher than taxed assessed value.<\/li>\n<li>All sales information from City of Brigantine Tax Office manuals.<\/li>\n<li>City of Brigantine taxes some non-residents at a higher rate, than some city employees and residents. They misuse NU [non-usable comp sales] to eliminate sales that would justify a lower property value.<\/li>\n<li>Brigantine does not follow practices and guide lines clearly set by the State of New Jersey. They do not use true value, fair value and market value to establish the taxable value.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Brigantine manipulates sales information to maintain a ratio 85% to 99%, so not to send red flags to NJ State Division of Taxation.<\/h2>\n<p>With a 2014 re-evaluation most of the properties should be selling for more than the current tax assessed value and they are not. They block out entire sections of the city as non-usable comps because their real estate value is historically lower than other sections. Then the city comps the lower valued area with a much higher value area in order to defend their assessed value. In my case, they traveled as much as 1.9 miles away for a standard house.<\/p>\n<p>In one case, the Brigantine ignored a $389,000 appraisal done by a Brigantine appraiser. The City assessed the part-time resident&#8217;s home value at $689,000.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The building that housed Aunt B&#8217;s Ice Cream recently sold for $489,000. It was assessed at $186,000. This property was owned and operated by a former Brigantine City Councilman, Sam Storino. Sammy may have been under-paying by about $7,000 a year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It looks like the amount of overtaxing could run about six million per year if the numbers hold up.<\/p>\n<p>The City of Brigantine does not appear to allow part-time residents to use&nbsp;[non-usable comp sales] marked 1,2,3,10,15,17,26,28 and 31. The State of NJ is clear that these may be considered in the tax appeal process. The State only uses them for the \u2018directors table\u2019 which has nothing to do with the tax appeal process.<\/p>\n<p>Brigantine uses incorrect statements in the tax appeal hearings: new owner tore down the house, house needed some work, neighbor bought the house, owner had to sell. Most of these are not in accordance with the NJ State tax code.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information taken from books 3, 4 and 5 at the tax office in Brigantine marked 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>89 total sales equaling $ 32,740,053.<\/li>\n<li>The taxed access value is $ 37,892,300, equaling a 116% ratio<\/li>\n<li>50 of the 89 were marked Nus or 56% of the total sales<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Brigantine Full Time Residents<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>11 sales where Brigantine residents: 5 sold at $1,456,000.

This was captured on video.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you read \u201cGreen Head Politics\u201d. A best-selling book by Patrick Costello. This follows the Director of Public works and his whistle blower information. This is a 177 page road map to corruption in Brigantine.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Green Head Politics&#8221; features the story of how Brigantine settled for over $1 million dollars to keep the case out of court. If a city pays out a million dollars, it\u2019s hard to believe there was no criminal activity.<\/p>\n<p>I presented some of this information to City Council on July 15, 2017 during the public speaking portion. You will see in the attached video there was no interest in pursuing it further. That leads me to believe the system is planned and administered intentionally.
