Korngold Powers

Korngold Powers brings decades of legal expertise to New York property tax disputes. We understand that high assessments can strain budgets for both homeowners and business owners. Our firm focuses exclusively on property tax law, giving us deep knowledge of local assessment practices and appeal procedures. What sets us apart is our combined background in real estate and tax law. This dual expertise helps us identify overassessments that others might miss. We've successfully reduced property taxes for hundreds of clients across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the surrounding boroughs. Our track record speaks for itself, with significant savings achieved for residential and commercial properties alike.

Our property tax appeal services cover the full spectrum of assessment challenges. We handle residential property tax protests for single-family homes, condos, and co-ops. For commercial clients, we manage appeals for office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, and mixed-use developments. We also conduct comprehensive valuation analyses to identify properties that are assessed above fair market value. Additional services include assessment review consultations where we examine your current tax bill and explain your options. We prepare and file all necessary paperwork with the Tax Commission of the City of New York and represent you at hearings. Our team also handles certiorari proceedings when administrative appeals don't achieve satisfactory results. We work on both contingency and hourly fee arrangements depending on your situation.

We start with a free consultation to review your property tax bill and assessment details. During this meeting, we'll explain whether you have grounds for an appeal and what potential savings might be realistic. If you decide to proceed, we'll conduct a thorough property analysis including comparable sales research and income data review for commercial properties. Next, we prepare and file your appeal with the appropriate agency. We handle all paperwork and deadlines so you don't have to worry about missing critical dates. If your case goes to a hearing, we'll represent you and present evidence supporting a lower assessment. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and next steps.

We serve all five boroughs of New York City: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Our office is conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan, making it easy to meet with clients throughout the metro area. While we focus primarily on NYC properties, we occasionally handle cases in Nassau and Suffolk counties for existing clients.
