How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services include residential assessment appeals for single-family homes, condos, and multi-family properties. We conduct detailed market analyses comparing your property to similar recent sales and identifying assessment errors or inflated valuations. For commercial properties, we perform income and expense reviews, capitalization rate analyses, and highest-and-best-use evaluations. We handle the entire appeals process from initial filing through hearings and negotiations with assessors. Our team prepares all necessary documentation, including property appraisals, market studies, and comparable sales analyses. We also provide ongoing assessment monitoring services to catch future overvaluations early and file timely appeals when needed.

What to Expect

Your property tax appeal begins with our comprehensive assessment review and property evaluation. We analyze your current assessment against market data and identify potential grounds for reduction. Once we determine viable appeal options, we file all necessary paperwork with the appropriate tax authorities. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of hearing schedules and case progress. We represent you at all hearings and handle negotiations with assessors to secure the best possible outcome. Most cases resolve within 6-12 months depending on the jurisdiction and complexity.

Service Area

We serve all five boroughs of New York City plus Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island. Our team is familiar with assessment practices and appeal procedures across these diverse jurisdictions, from Manhattan's complex co-op and condo assessments to Long Island's suburban residential appeals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
We compare your assessment to recent sales of similar properties and current market conditions. If your assessment exceeds market value or comparable properties, you likely have grounds for appeal.
What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals in New York?
Deadlines vary by location but typically fall between March and May. Nassau County is May 1st, Suffolk County is September 30th, and NYC varies by borough.
How much can I expect to save on a successful appeal?
Savings vary widely based on over-assessment amount and property value. Typical reductions range from 10-30% of assessed value, translating to hundreds or thousands in annual tax savings.
Do I need an appraisal for my appeal?
Not always required but often helpful for substantial appeals. We can recommend when an appraisal strengthens your case and help coordinate with qualified appraisers.
What happens if my appeal is denied?
You can often appeal to the next level, such as state court. We evaluate the strength of your case and advise whether further appeals are worthwhile.
Can I appeal multiple years at once?
Generally no, each tax year requires a separate appeal filing. However, we can handle multiple years simultaneously if you've been over-assessed consistently.
Will appealing increase my assessment in future years?
No, filing an appeal cannot increase your current assessment. However, assessors may adjust future assessments based on market conditions and property improvements.
How long does the appeals process typically take?
Most appeals resolve within 6-12 months. Simple cases may settle quickly while complex commercial appeals can take 18+ months if litigation is required.
