Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine if my property is overassessed?
I analyze your assessment against recent comparable sales, current market conditions, and property characteristics. If your assessment exceeds market value by 10% or more, there's usually grounds for appeal.
What's your success rate for property tax appeals?
My success rate is over 80% for accepted cases. Average reductions range from 15-25% for residential properties and 20-35% for commercial properties.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals are resolved within 6-12 months of filing. Complex commercial cases or properties requiring hearings may take up to 18 months.
Do you charge upfront fees?
Most residential appeals are handled on contingency with fees based on achieved savings. Commercial cases may require some upfront costs depending on complexity.
What happens if the appeal is unsuccessful?
With contingency pricing, you owe no fees if we don't achieve a reduction. I only accept cases where I see clear potential for success.
Can you appeal multiple years at once?
Yes, in many jurisdictions you can file appeals for current and prior tax years simultaneously. This can maximize total savings but requires careful strategy.
What documentation do you need to start an appeal?
I need current tax bills, purchase documents, property improvement records, and any prior assessment notices. I'll request additional documents as needed during the process.
Will appealing my taxes trigger an increase?
No, tax appeals can only result in reductions or no change. Assessors cannot increase your assessment as a result of filing an appeal in New York.
