How They Can Help

Our property tax practice covers comprehensive assessment reviews for residential and commercial properties throughout New York. We handle formal appeals before the Tax Commission, administrative hearings, and court proceedings when necessary. Our valuation analysis service examines comparable sales, income approaches, and physical property conditions to build strong cases for reduction. For commercial clients, we provide ongoing assessment monitoring, portfolio reviews, and strategic tax planning. We also handle special situations like development projects, mixed-use properties, and properties with unique valuation challenges. Our residential services include cooperative and condominium assessments, single-family home protests, and multi-family property appeals. We work on both contingency and hourly arrangements depending on case complexity.

What to Expect

Your case begins with a comprehensive property assessment review where we analyze your current tax bill, recent sales data, and property characteristics. We'll explain the appeal timeline and potential savings before you commit to representation. Once engaged, we gather supporting documentation, prepare formal appeals, and represent you at hearings. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and strategy. Most residential cases resolve within 6-12 months, while commercial appeals may take longer depending on complexity and hearing schedules.

Service Area

We serve all five boroughs of New York City, with particular focus on Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens commercial districts. Our office location in Midtown Manhattan allows easy access to Tax Commission hearings and court proceedings. We also handle select cases in Westchester and Nassau counties for existing clients.

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 property tax appeals in NYC?
Residential property owners must file by March 1st, while commercial and most other properties have a January 15th deadline. Missing these dates means waiting until the next tax year.
How much can I expect to save on a successful appeal?
Savings vary widely, but typical residential reductions range from $500-3,000 annually. Commercial properties can see much larger savings, sometimes tens of thousands per year.
Do you handle appeals for co-op and condo units?
Yes, we handle both individual unit appeals and building-wide challenges. Co-op and condo tax issues require specialized knowledge of NYC's assessment methods.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
On contingency cases, you pay nothing if we don't achieve savings. For hourly cases, you're responsible for fees regardless of outcome, which we discuss upfront.
Can you appeal multiple years of assessments?
Generally, you can only appeal the current tax year, but successful appeals often influence future assessments. Some circumstances allow challenging prior years.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most residential appeals resolve within 6-12 months. Commercial cases can take 12-18 months or longer depending on complexity and hearing schedules.
Do I need to attend hearings personally?
As your attorney, we typically handle all hearings and proceedings. Your attendance is usually not required, though we may ask you to be available for questions.
