How They Can Help

The firm specializes in comprehensive property tax appeal services, starting with detailed assessment reviews to identify potential overvaluations. They handle residential tax protests for homeowners dealing with inflated assessments, often uncovering errors in square footage calculations, property characteristics, or comparable sales data. Their commercial property tax services extend to office buildings, retail spaces, industrial facilities, and investment properties, where stakes are typically higher and specialized knowledge is crucial. Valuation analysis forms the core of their service offering, involving professional appraisals, market studies, and income approach calculations for commercial properties. They also provide ongoing assessment monitoring, alerting clients to assessment changes and market shifts that might warrant appeals. The team handles all paperwork, filing deadlines, and hearing representations, ensuring clients don't miss critical opportunities for tax savings while maintaining professional relationships with local assessors.

What to Expect

The process begins with a free assessment review where the team analyzes your property's current assessment against market data and comparable properties. If they identify potential for reduction, they'll present a detailed analysis and fee structure before proceeding. Once engaged, they gather necessary documentation including property records, recent sales data, and any relevant property condition information. The team then prepares and files all required appeal paperwork within statutory deadlines, typically working 60-90 days ahead of filing dates. They handle all communications with assessor offices and represent clients at hearings when necessary. Throughout the process, clients receive regular updates on case progress and can expect resolution within 6-12 months depending on local hearing schedules.

Service Area

Long Island Tax Corp serves all five boroughs of New York City, with particular focus on Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan properties. They also handle cases throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island, where they maintain strong relationships with local assessor offices. The firm occasionally takes on cases in Westchester County for existing commercial clients, though their primary expertise lies in the greater New York metropolitan area where they've built their reputation over many years.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
Compare your assessment to similar properties that sold recently in your area. If your assessment significantly exceeds recent sale prices for comparable properties, you may have grounds for appeal.
When should I file a property tax appeal?
Appeal deadlines vary by jurisdiction but typically occur once annually. In NYC, the deadline is usually March 15th, while Nassau and Suffolk counties have different schedules.
What documents do I need for an appeal?
Essential documents include your assessment notice, recent comparable sales, property surveys, and any documentation of property conditions that might affect value. We help gather and organize all necessary paperwork.
How much can I save through a property tax appeal?
Savings vary widely based on property type and over-assessment level. Residential properties average $3,500 in annual savings, while commercial properties can save tens of thousands annually.
Do I need to attend the appeal hearing?
We handle all hearing representations for our clients. Your attendance is typically not required, though we may request your presence for complex commercial cases.
What happens if the appeal is unsuccessful?
Under our contingency arrangement, you owe no fees if we don't achieve a reduction. Unsuccessful appeals don't prevent future attempts, and assessment patterns often change year to year.
Can I appeal every year?
Yes, you can file appeals annually if circumstances warrant. However, we recommend appeals only when evidence suggests genuine over-assessment to maintain credibility with assessor offices.
How does the contingency fee structure work?
For residential properties, we charge 50% of the first year's tax savings only if we achieve a reduction. Commercial properties may require upfront fees plus contingency arrangements based on complexity.
