New Jersey Tax Court

1Opinion of the Court
LASSER, P.J.T.C.
These consolidated local property tax eases involve Fairleigh Dickinson University’s (FDU) claim for tax exemption for its Florham Park-Madison campus under the N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.6 exemption for educational institutions. Exemption of the land is the sole issue. It was stipulated that FDU owns 148 acres in Florham Park and 30.4 acres in Madison.1
Florham Park granted exemption for 50 acres for tax year 1981 and assessed the remaining 98 acres at $1,479,000. The University contested this denial of exemption for the 98 acres by filing a direct complaint with the Tax Court.
