How They Can Help

The firm offers comprehensive property tax appeal services starting with detailed assessment reviews to identify overvaluations. They prepare and file formal grievance applications with local assessment review boards, presenting market data, comparable property analyses, and income approach valuations when appropriate. Their commercial property tax services include challenging assessed values on office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, and multi-family complexes. For residential clients, they handle single-family home appeals, condominium assessments, and vacant land valuations. Their valuation analysis services provide independent property appraisals and market studies to support reduction requests. They also offer ongoing assessment monitoring services, tracking your property's assessed value over time and automatically filing appeals when warranted. Additionally, they provide consultation on tax exemption applications for qualifying properties, including senior citizen exemptions, veteran exemptions, and agricultural use assessments.

What to Expect

The process begins with a free consultation where they review your property tax bill and recent assessment notices. They'll analyze your property's assessed value against comparable sales and current market conditions. If they identify potential for reduction, they'll provide a clear fee structure and timeline for your appeal. Once retained, they gather property data, conduct market research, and prepare your formal grievance application. They handle all filing requirements and represent you at assessment review board hearings. Throughout the process, they keep you informed of developments and next steps. If the initial appeal isn't successful, they can pursue further appeals through the court system when warranted.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property tax assessment is too high?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher than comparable sales, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in New York?
Grievance applications must typically be filed by Grievance Day, which varies by municipality but is usually in late May. Contact us immediately if you're concerned about your assessment.
How much can I expect to save on a successful appeal?
Savings vary widely based on the degree of overassessment and your property's tax rate. Typical successful appeals result in 10-30% assessment reductions, translating to hundreds or thousands in annual tax savings.
Do you handle appeals for all types of properties?
Yes, we handle residential properties, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, vacant land, and multi-family properties. Each property type requires different valuation approaches and expertise.
What happens if my initial appeal is denied?
We can pursue further appeals through Small Claims Assessment Review (SCAR) or state court. Many successful cases require multiple levels of appeal to achieve optimal results.
Will appealing my assessment trigger an audit or increase my taxes?
No, filing a legitimate appeal won't trigger audits or increase your taxes. Assessors cannot retaliate by raising your assessment simply because you appealed.
How long does the appeal process typically take?
Initial grievance proceedings usually conclude within 3-6 months. If further appeals are necessary, the process can extend 8-12 months or longer depending on court schedules.
Can you help with commercial property tax appeals?
Absolutely. We have extensive experience with commercial appeals, including office buildings, retail properties, warehouses, and income-producing real estate that may require specialized valuation approaches.
