Grieving Your Property Taxes
To our Clients: At Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate - Rand Realty, we believe that service to our clients does not end just because you have closed on the purchase or sale of your home. Rather, most client need professional real estate services all the time, everything from keeping up-to-date on market news, changes in property values, or information on their local communities. That's why, for example we've put out our Quarterly Market Reports and Seasonal Event Guides for our clients for over seven years.
In that spirit, we created Your Guide to Grieving Property Taxes in Westchester, Rockland and the Hudson Valley to provide you with a simple but comprehensive guide to challenging your property tax assessments if you believe that you are over-assessed.
As this Guide explains, challenging your assessment and grieving your taxes is a complicated but manageable process. I am happy to help you in that effort, particularly by providing you with information on comparable sales that can help you determine your market value and support a case for lowering your assessment. I am also happy to help you if you would like an attorney to assist you in filing your grievance, which we believe is a good idea because of the difficulties of the process and also because most attorneys only collect a fee based on your savings if you are successful.
Here is what we have in the Guide:
- Understanding the Property Tax Grievance Process: An explanation and overview of the entire process
- The Property Tax Grievance FAQ: Common questions and answers about the grievance process.
- Three Steps to Grieving Your Taxes: Step-by-step instructions for determining market value, filling out your complaint, and writing your letter in support.
- Five Reasons to Hire an Attorney to Represent You: An explanation why we recommend that you retain an attorney to represent you through the grievance process.
- Grievance Day Deadline Summary: A comprehensive review of all the deadlines for filing your tax grievance throughout Westchester, Rockland and the Hudson Valley.
