New York State Law

New York State Law requires all properties in each municipality to be assessed at a uniform percentage of market value each year. This means that all properties in each City, Town and Village must be assessed at market value or all at the same uniform percentage of market value each year.

Once the market value of each property is determined, the assessor applies the municipal-wide level of assessment to the market values.

In communities where assessments are maintained at a level of assessment of 100%, a property's assessment is the assessor's estimate of its market value. If a community is assessing at a percentage of market value, each assessment should be based on the percentage being used throughout the community.

If the market value of a property is $100,000 and the community is assessing at 30% of market value, the assessment on that property would be $30,000.

MORE ABOUT NEW YORK STATE TAX GRIEVANCE AND ASSESSMENT APPEAL SERVICES

 

Most localities determine your property tax burden based on an ad valorem assessment of the property's value. Sometimes, as a property owner, you get an unwanted surprise in the mail telling you your taxes are going up, and sometimes it may seem as though your assessment is too high.

 

Often, matters like this can be resolved with a phone call. However, if after discussing your assessment with your local New York taxing authority you still feel as though your property was overvalued, a professional, independent, third-party appraiser is often your best bet in proving your case. That's where we come in.

There are as many different procedures for appealing New York tax and assessments as there are property taxing districts, so it's important to enlist the help of a professional appraisal firm that's experienced and trained in the ins and outs of your particular jurisdiction.

Please note: It makes sense to do your own research before determining whether to go forward with a property assessment appeal, especially before you make the decision to hire a professional appraiser. However, according to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), we are not allowed to take "shortcuts" -- i.e., your research -- and use it on its face as part of our independent evaluation. When you hire Greco Appraisal Services for a New York tax assessment appeal, you're commissioning an independent, third-party professional appraisal report. As such Christopher Greco Appraisals will do our own evaluation, beginning to end. If you're right that your property has been overvalued, an independent report is your best eveidence. Our appraisal provide year over median selling price changes from 2007 or 2008 through the effective date of appraial and give a supply and demand analysis. Couple that data along with the best comparable sales data and active listings and you have yourself a great start to lowering your taxes. Although we can not advocate for the homeowner, we are qualified to determine the fair market value or your home.
