Frequently Asked Questions

How long do property tax appeals typically take?
Most appeals take 6-18 months depending on the jurisdiction and complexity. NYC cases often take longer than suburban county cases due to higher volumes.
What percentage of appeals result in tax reductions?
Success rates vary by property type and market conditions. Residential appeals succeed about 60-70% of the time, while commercial appeals have slightly higher success rates.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can challenge your assessment annually as long as you meet filing deadlines. However, repeated appeals without new evidence may face scrutiny from assessors.
How much can I expect to save if my appeal succeeds?
Savings vary widely based on how over-assessed your property was initially. Typical successful appeals result in 10-25% tax reductions, though some achieve much higher savings.
Do I need an appraisal to appeal my property taxes?
Not always, but appraisals can strengthen your case significantly. The firm can advise whether an appraisal is worth the cost based on your specific situation.
What happens if I miss the appeal deadline?
Missing deadlines typically means waiting until the next assessment cycle to appeal. Some jurisdictions have limited exceptions for extraordinary circumstances.
Will appealing my taxes trigger a higher assessment?
Assessors cannot raise your assessment simply because you appealed. However, they may discover previously overlooked improvements during their review process.
How are contingency fees calculated?
Fees are typically a percentage of your first-year tax savings. The exact percentage depends on case complexity and potential savings amount.
