How They Can Help

Aventine offers complete property tax grievance services including initial assessment reviews, comparable property analysis, and representation at informal and formal hearings. They conduct thorough property inspections to identify factors that may support assessment reductions, such as functional obsolescence or needed repairs. Their residential services cover single-family homes, condominiums, and small multi-family properties. Commercial services include retail establishments, office buildings, industrial properties, and mixed-use developments. The firm also handles assessment corrections for new construction, renovation impacts, and environmental issues affecting property values. They maintain detailed records of successful appeals to support future cases and provide clients with realistic expectations based on historical results in their specific communities and property types.

What to Expect

The process begins with a comprehensive review of your property tax history and current assessment. Aventine analyzes recent sales data and comparable properties to determine appeal potential and provides honest assessments of likely outcomes. If proceeding, they prepare all necessary documentation and represent you at Assessment Review Commission hearings. For informal reviews, they present evidence directly to hearing officers. Formal proceedings involve more extensive documentation and testimony. Throughout the process, they handle all communications with tax authorities and keep you informed of developments. Most cases resolve within the current tax year, though some complex matters may extend longer.

Service Area

Aventine Properties Tax Grievance Firm primarily serves Nassau County, with extensive experience throughout all municipalities and school districts. They also handle select cases in western Suffolk County, particularly in communities bordering Nassau County. Their Garden City location provides convenient access to county assessment offices and hearing facilities. The firm's deep local knowledge includes understanding how different communities assess properties and which arguments are most effective with specific hearing officers and assessment departments.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the deadline for Nassau County tax grievances?
Grievance petitions must be filed by the third Tuesday in May each year. However, we recommend starting the process earlier to allow adequate preparation time.
How do you determine if my property taxes are too high?
We analyze recent comparable sales, current market conditions, and your property's specific characteristics. If the assessment appears excessive relative to market value, we recommend proceeding with a grievance.
What's the difference between informal and formal hearings?
Informal reviews involve negotiations with ARC staff for potential settlements. Formal hearings require full evidence presentation before a hearing officer with more extensive documentation requirements.
Can you handle grievances for condominiums?
Yes, we regularly handle condo assessments, though the process differs from single-family homes. Condo grievances often focus on building-wide factors affecting individual unit values.
How much can I save with a successful grievance?
Savings depend on the degree of over-assessment and property value. Typical reductions range from 5-25% of assessed value, resulting in annual tax savings of hundreds to thousands of dollars.
Do you charge fees if the grievance is unsuccessful?
No, our contingency fee structure means you pay nothing if we don't achieve a reduction. You're only responsible for our percentage of actual tax savings realized.
What information do you need to evaluate my case?
Bring recent tax bills, assessment notices, property survey if available, and information about any improvements or property issues. We'll explain what additional documentation may be needed.
How often should I file tax grievances?
You can file annually if circumstances warrant. We evaluate each year's assessment independently and advise whether a grievance makes sense based on current market conditions and assessment levels.
