How They Can Help

We provide full-service property tax appeal representation covering all property types and appeal levels. Our residential services include assessment challenges for single-family homes, attached houses, condos, co-ops, and small apartment buildings. We're particularly experienced with the Tudor and Colonial-style homes common in Middle Village and surrounding neighborhoods. Commercial services encompass retail properties, office buildings, warehouses, and mixed-use developments throughout Queens. We conduct thorough market analyses and prepare comprehensive evidence packages for Tax Commission hearings. Our practice also includes exemption applications for qualifying properties, including senior citizen, veterans', and disability exemptions. We provide ongoing assessment monitoring services to catch potential over-assessments early and maximize savings opportunities. Additionally, we assist with certificate of occupancy issues and property transfers that may affect assessments.

What to Expect

We begin every potential case with a free property assessment review to determine if you have grounds for a successful appeal. This includes analyzing your assessment against comparable properties and recent sales data. If we identify potential savings that justify the appeal process, we'll explain your options and fee structure. Once engaged, we immediately gather all necessary property information and begin our market research. We handle all filing requirements and deadlines, ensuring your appeal is properly submitted to the Tax Commission. Throughout the process, we maintain regular contact and provide updates on case progress. Most appeals resolve within 8-12 months through settlement or hearing decision.

Service Area

We serve Middle Village and surrounding Queens neighborhoods including Ridgewood, Glendale, Maspeth, Elmhurst, and Forest Hills. Our Queens focus allows us to maintain current expertise in local market trends and assessment practices. We also handle select cases in Brooklyn and Long Island when they involve properties similar to our core practice areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine if my property is over-assessed?
We analyze your assessment against recent comparable sales and similar properties in your neighborhood. If we find significant discrepancies, an appeal may be worthwhile.
What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals?
Appeals must generally be filed by March 1st for the following tax year. Missing this deadline means waiting another full year to appeal.
Do I need to pay anything upfront?
Most residential appeals work on contingency with no upfront costs. You pay our fee only if we successfully reduce your property assessment.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
Your assessment remains the same - there's no penalty for filing an unsuccessful appeal. We carefully evaluate cases beforehand to maximize success potential.
How much can I expect to save on my taxes?
Successful appeals typically achieve 10-25% assessment reductions, but savings vary based on property specifics and local market conditions.
Will I have to attend hearings or meetings?
As your legal representatives, we handle all proceedings. Property owner attendance is rarely required for standard residential appeals.
What information do you need from me?
We need recent tax bills, property deed, and details about your property's condition and characteristics. We'll guide you through the documentation process.
How long do tax reductions typically last?
Reductions often last several years, though the city can reassess properties. We monitor our clients' assessments for future appeal opportunities.
