What to Expect

The process begins with a free consultation where they review your property's assessment history and recent tax bills. They analyze comparable sales, rental income data, and market conditions to determine if your assessment appears excessive. If they identify potential savings, they'll explain the timeline and likely outcomes. Once you engage their services, they file the necessary paperwork with the appropriate tax authorities within required deadlines. They gather supporting documentation including appraisals, income statements, and comparable property data. Throughout the process, they keep you informed of developments and coordinate any required property inspections or hearings. Most residential cases resolve within 6-12 months, while commercial disputes can take 12-18 months. They handle all communications with tax authorities and represent you at hearings. When successful, they assist with applying refunds to future tax bills or obtaining direct refund payments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine if my property assessment is too high?
We analyze recent comparable sales, rental income data, and market conditions in your area. We compare your assessment to similar properties and evaluate whether it exceeds your property's actual market value.
What are the deadlines for filing property tax appeals?
In New York City, residential property owners must file by March 15th for the following tax year. Commercial property deadlines vary, and some special circumstances allow later filings.
Will challenging my assessment trigger a property inspection?
Inspections are possible but not automatic. If requested, we coordinate the inspection and ensure it's conducted fairly and professionally.
How long does the appeal process typically take?
Residential cases usually resolve within 6-12 months. Commercial properties often require 12-18 months due to their complexity and higher likelihood of formal hearings.
What happens if we don't achieve a reduction?
For contingency fee cases, you pay nothing if we don't succeed. We carefully evaluate cases before accepting them to maximize your chances of success.
Can you help with properties outside New York City?
We handle cases in Nassau and Suffolk Counties for qualifying commercial properties. Our expertise focuses primarily on New York City's tax system.
Do recent property improvements affect my appeal chances?
Improvements can justify higher assessments, but many other factors determine property value. We evaluate the overall assessment accuracy, not just recent changes.
How are tax savings calculated and distributed?
Reductions apply to future tax bills automatically. Past overpayments may result in refunds that can be applied to future bills or paid directly, depending on your preference.
