Connors & Sullivan, Attorneys at Law

Connors & Sullivan, Attorneys at Law brings over two decades of property tax expertise to Brooklyn homeowners and businesses. We specialize in challenging inflated property assessments and securing meaningful tax reductions for our clients across all five boroughs. Our team combines legal knowledge with deep understanding of NYC's complex assessment system. We've successfully reduced property taxes for thousands of clients, from single-family homes in Park Slope to large commercial properties in Downtown Brooklyn. Every case receives personal attention from our experienced attorneys who know how to navigate the city's bureaucratic processes effectively.

We provide comprehensive property tax appeal services covering every aspect of the assessment challenge process. Our residential services include assessment reviews for single-family homes, condos, co-ops, and multi-family properties. We analyze your property's assessed value against comparable sales and market conditions to build strong appeal cases. For commercial clients, we handle office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, and mixed-use developments. Our services include filing formal protests with the Tax Commission, representing clients at hearings, and negotiating settlements with the city. We also provide ongoing assessment monitoring to catch potential overassessments early. Additionally, we assist with exemption applications for eligible properties, including senior citizen exemptions, veterans' exemptions, and disability exemptions. Our valuation analysis services help property owners understand their assessment and identify grounds for appeal.

Getting started is straightforward. First, we review your property tax bill and assessment notice at no charge to determine if you have grounds for appeal. If we identify potential savings, we'll explain the process and our fee structure clearly. Once retained, we gather property details, research comparable sales, and file all necessary paperwork within strict deadlines. We handle communication with the Tax Commission and prepare detailed evidence packages. If your case goes to hearing, we represent you before the hearing officer. Most cases resolve within 6-12 months, and we keep you informed throughout the process.

We serve all of Brooklyn's neighborhoods, from Bay Ridge to Williamsburg, plus Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Our Brooklyn office location gives us intimate knowledge of local market conditions and assessment patterns. We're familiar with the unique characteristics of each neighborhood that can impact property valuations and appeal strategies.
