Community Corp. v. Montague TP

Tax Court of New Jersey

10 N.J. Tax 237 (Tax 1988)

Opinion

Submitted September 13, 1988.

Decided September 28, 1988.

Before Judges MICHELS, MUIR, Jr. and KEEFE.

On appeal from the Tax Court of New Jersey, whose opinion is reported at 9 N.J. Tax 398 (Tax Ct. 1987).

John T. Stieh and David A. Gniewek attorneys for appellant ( John T. Stieh, on the brief).

Morris, Downing Sherred, attorneys for respondent ( Christopher D. Quinn, of counsel; Pamela A. Reeve, on the brief).


Plaintiff appeals from a judgment of the Tax Court which affirmed a board of taxation decision upholding the 1986 real property tax assessments on nine parcels of land plaintiff owns in Montague Township. The parcels encompass the common recreational facilities of The Holiday Lake Community Club and, as such, are subject to rights of Holiday Lake property owners. Plaintiff contends, as it did before the Tax Court, that (1) the property owners' rights in the parcels make them unmarketable and therefore the parcels have no value, and (2) the 1986 assessments are excessive because the value of the parcels is reflected already in the assessments of the property owners' lots.

After review of the record and consideration of the law and counsel's arguments, we affirm for the reasons set forth in Judge Lasser's written opinion reported at 9 N.J. Tax 398 (Tax Ct. 1987).

AFFIRMED.
