Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher than market value, you likely have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in New York?
Deadlines vary by location but are typically 30-45 days after receiving your assessment notice. Don't wait, as these deadlines are strictly enforced with no extensions.
Will appealing my taxes increase my assessment?
No, New York law prohibits assessors from raising your assessment solely because you filed an appeal. Your assessment can only decrease or stay the same.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most residential appeals are resolved within 6-12 months. Commercial appeals can take longer due to their complexity, often 8-15 months from filing to resolution.
What documents do I need for an appeal?
You'll need recent tax bills, assessment notices, and property records. The firm will help gather additional documentation like comparable sales data and property condition reports.
Can I appeal my taxes every year?
Yes, you can file an appeal each assessment cycle if you believe your property is over-assessed. However, repeated appeals should be based on legitimate valuation concerns.
What happens if my appeal is denied?
You can typically appeal to a higher authority, such as the state tax commission. The firm will evaluate whether further appeals are worthwhile based on the strength of your case.
Do you handle co-op and condo appeals differently?
Yes, co-ops and condos have unique valuation challenges in New York. We have specialized experience with these property types and their specific assessment issues.
