Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between hiring an attorney versus a tax consultant?
Attorneys can represent you in court proceedings and handle complex legal issues that consultants cannot. They're also bound by attorney-client privilege and professional conduct rules.
How long do property tax appeals take in NYC?
Administrative appeals typically take 3-6 months. Court proceedings can extend 12-18 months depending on case complexity and court schedules.
What documents do I need for a property tax appeal?
Bring recent tax bills, property deeds, any appraisals, and records of improvements or repairs. The attorney will help identify additional documentation needed.
Can I appeal every year?
Yes, you can file annual grievances, but you need valid grounds for appeal each time. Repeated frivolous appeals may face penalties.
What are common grounds for property tax appeals?
Overvaluation compared to market value, assessment errors, property condition issues, or unequal treatment compared to similar properties.
How much can I expect to save?
Savings vary widely based on individual circumstances. Some properties see 10-30% reductions, while others may achieve minimal or no reduction.
Do I pay if the appeal isn't successful?
Many cases are handled on contingency, meaning you only pay attorney fees if tax reductions are achieved. Initial consultation fees may apply separately.
Can commercial property appeals be more complex?
Yes, commercial appeals often involve income analysis, capitalization rates, and expert testimony, requiring more extensive preparation and higher costs.
