Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property assessment is too high?
We analyze your assessment against recent comparable sales, market conditions, and property characteristics. Significant discrepancies often indicate appeal opportunities worth pursuing.
What's the success rate for property tax appeals in NYC?
Success rates vary by property type and preparation quality. Professional representation typically achieves better results than self-representation, with our success rate exceeding 70%.
Can I appeal every year if my taxes keep going up?
Yes, you can file annual appeals if assessments remain excessive. However, successful previous appeals may influence future assessment levels and appeal strategies.
Do property tax appeals affect my ability to sell my property?
No, appealing excessive assessments doesn't impact your property's marketability. Most buyers understand that challenging unfair assessments is responsible property ownership.
What's the difference between ARU and Tax Commission appeals?
ARU offers informal review with simpler procedures, while Tax Commission provides formal hearings with more rigorous evidence requirements but potentially greater savings opportunities.
How long do I have to file a property tax appeal?
Deadlines vary by borough and appeal type, generally ranging from January to March. Missing deadlines typically means waiting until the following year.
Can I get a refund if my appeal is successful?
Successful appeals typically result in corrected future tax bills rather than refunds. However, some circumstances may allow for refund applications for overpaid amounts.
What happens if I disagree with the appeal decision?
Depending on the appeal venue, you may have options for further review including court proceedings. We'll advise on the best strategy based on your specific case circumstances.
