Tax Grievance
Tax Grievance
Quite often , the Tax Grievance Services which you pay for your property will be higher than expected for the area. In this instance, a grievance can be initiated to challenge the existing assessment of your property. The first step is to determine the current market value of your property. Information obtained from the Internet ( Zillow, Trulia, etc.,) will generally not be acceptable. This is a case where only a professionally prepared appraiser report will suffice. By establishing the current market value of your property, our team of NY State Certified Appraisers can assist you in your quest to reduce your property tax burden.
Tax Grievance
Real estate appraisals are an essential tool in the tax grievance process in New York:
⦁ discrepancies between assessed and market values of a property can occur, leading to over-assessment and higher taxes. An appraisal can serve as evidence to demonstrate that a property’s assessed value is higher than its actual market value.
⦁ An independent appraisal provides credible and objective documentation to substantiate the argument for a reduced assessment. This can be persuasive in hearings or negotiations with the local assessment review board.
⦁ Having a professional appraisal strengthens a property owner’s position when negotiating with tax authorities and can help in reaching a fair settlement.
