Frequently Asked Questions

How does Westchester County's assessment system work?
Westchester uses a market value assessment system with periodic revaluations. Properties are assessed based on estimated market value, which should reflect recent sales of comparable properties in your area.
What are the deadlines for filing property tax appeals in Westchester?
Grievance deadlines vary by municipality but typically fall between March and May each year. Missing these deadlines means waiting until the next assessment year to appeal.
Can I appeal if my property hasn't been reassessed recently?
Yes, you can appeal annually regardless of when your property was last reassessed. Market changes or assessment errors can create appeal opportunities even without recent reassessment.
How do you determine comparable properties for appeals?
We analyze recent sales of similar properties in your neighborhood, considering size, age, condition, and lot characteristics. Properties must be reasonably comparable to support assessment challenges.
What happens during the appeals hearing process?
Hearings are typically informal proceedings where we present evidence supporting your assessment reduction request. Most cases are resolved through negotiation without formal hearings.
Can environmental issues affect my property assessment?
Yes, environmental problems like wetlands, contamination, or flood zones can significantly impact property value and should be reflected in assessments if they affect marketability.
How long do assessment reductions typically last?
Successful appeals reduce your assessment for the current year and potentially future years until the next revaluation or significant property changes occur.
What should I do if I disagree with the appeal outcome?
Unsuccessful grievances can sometimes be appealed to higher levels including small claims court, though additional costs and time requirements apply to these procedures.
