LCBF obtains consent order vacating all property tax assessment in The City of New Brunswick, NJ against Amtrak

In National Railroad Passenger Corporation v. The City of New Brunswick, the United States District Court for New Jersey signed a consent order vacating tax assessments and tax sales that had occurred on Amtrak-owned property within the City of New Brunswick and further ordered the City not to issue any future tax assessments, tax bills or conduct tax sales on any Amtrak-owned property within the City. The consent order followed a pre-discovery summary judgment motion filed by LCBF that sought to enforce Amtrak’s statutory exemption from local property taxes. The LCBF team was headed by Gerry Ford.
