How They Can Help

We offer comprehensive property tax consulting including assessment appeals, valuation analysis, and ongoing tax monitoring services. Our team conducts detailed market analysis using comparable sales data, income approaches, and cost methodologies to challenge incorrect assessments. We handle all aspects of the grievance process from initial filing through hearing representation. Our commercial services include complex valuation disputes, special assessment challenges, and exemption applications. We also provide portfolio management services for multi-property owners, ensuring all assets are properly assessed and appealing when beneficial. Additionally, we offer due diligence services for property acquisitions, helping buyers understand potential tax liabilities and appeal opportunities.

We work with certified appraisers and maintain extensive databases of comparable sales to build compelling cases for our clients.

What to Expect

We begin with a comprehensive property assessment review, analyzing your current tax situation and identifying potential savings opportunities. Our initial consultation includes a detailed market analysis comparing your assessment to similar properties in your area. If we identify viable appeal grounds, we'll present a clear strategy and timeline. Once retained, we gather all necessary documentation including property records, comparable sales data, and supporting photographs. We prepare and file your grievance application, ensuring compliance with all procedural requirements and deadlines. Throughout the appeal process, we handle all communications with assessor offices and represent you at hearings when required. You'll receive regular updates on case progress and outcomes, with most appeals resolving within the tax year.

Service Area

We serve property owners throughout New York City's five boroughs, with deep expertise in each area's unique market conditions and assessment practices. Our consultants regularly work in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island, understanding local comparables and assessor preferences. We also handle properties in surrounding areas including parts of Nassau and Westchester counties where our NYC expertise provides valuable insights for similar assessment challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a property tax assessment appealable?
Assessments can be challenged if they exceed market value, contain factual errors, or are disproportionate to similar properties. Recent sales data often reveals overassessments worth appealing.
How do you determine if my assessment is too high?
We analyze recent comparable sales, current market conditions, and your property's specific characteristics. If your assessment significantly exceeds market value, you likely have grounds for appeal.
Can I appeal every year?
Yes, you can file annual appeals if justified by market conditions or new comparable sales data. However, we only recommend appeals when evidence supports potential reductions.
What information do you need to evaluate my case?
We need your current tax bill, property deed, recent improvement records, and rental income information if applicable. Photos and property descriptions also help our analysis.
How long do assessment reductions last?
Successful appeals reduce your assessment until the next reassessment cycle. In NYC, this typically means ongoing savings until market conditions or property improvements justify increases.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
Your assessment remains unchanged, but under contingency arrangements, you pay no consulting fees. You can appeal again next year with new evidence or different market conditions.
Do appeals ever result in higher assessments?
Rarely, but it's possible if assessors discover errors in your favor. However, most jurisdictions have protections against retaliatory increases during formal appeals.
Should I get an independent appraisal before appealing?
Not always necessary for initial appeals, but professional appraisals strengthen complex cases. We can recommend certified appraisers when additional valuation support would be beneficial.
