Services
How They Can Help
The firm offers comprehensive property tax appeal services starting with free assessment reviews to identify potential savings opportunities. They handle residential property tax protests for single-family homes, condos, and multi-family properties, as well as complex commercial appeals for office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial facilities. Their valuation analysis service provides detailed market comparisons and property condition assessments to support appeals. Additional services include assessment correction applications for properties with factual errors, STAR exemption assistance for eligible homeowners, and ongoing tax monitoring to catch future assessment increases early.

For commercial clients, they offer portfolio reviews covering multiple properties and coordinate appeals across different jurisdictions when needed.
What to Expect
The process begins with a complimentary property assessment review where they analyze your current tax bill and recent comparable sales to identify potential savings. If they find grounds for appeal, they'll prepare and file all necessary paperwork with the local assessor's office or board of assessment review. Throughout the process, they handle all communications with tax authorities and provide regular updates on case progress. For cases requiring hearings, they'll prepare evidence packages including property photos, comparable sales data, and expert testimony if needed. Most residential cases resolve within 3-4 months, while commercial appeals may take 6-12 months depending on complexity.
