If you own property in New York State, you are eligible for formal review of your assessment.

There are two levels of formal review:

1. Administrative review - the "grievance" process is conducted at the municipal level

2. Judicial review

· In order to pursue judicial review you must first go through administrative review

· includes two options:

o Small Claims Assessment Review (SCAR) - a low-cost option available to most homeowners;

o Tax certiorari proceedings in State Supreme Court - to pursue this option, you should contact an attorney.

Before pursuing formal review of your assessment, you should first determine if you are assessed fairly:

Step One: What is the assessor's estimate of the market value of your property?

You'll find this information on the assessment roll.

You should check your assessment annually prior to Grievance Day (typically the fourth Tuesday in May, but confirm the date with your assessor).

If your municipality is assessing at 100% of market value, your assessment and the assessor's estimate of market value will be identical.

If assessments are not at 100% of market value, you can use this formula to calculate the assessor's estimate of market value:

  • assessment ÷ level of assessment = assessor's estimate of market value

Step Two: Develop an estimate of the market value of your property

  • Homeowners can learn how to estimate the market value of your home
  • Other property owners may wish to contact an appraiser or other real estate professional

Generally, if the assessor's estimate of the market value of your property reflects roughly the amount for which you could sell your property, then your assessment is fair.

Step Three: If your assessment is too high

Often, an informal discussion between a taxpayer and an assessor can result in a sharing of information beneficial to both parties. If such a discussion does not result in a reduction in your assessment, and you still feel as though your assessment is too high, you may wish to contest your assessment.

Rather than determining that your assessment is too high, you might find that your property is assessed based on its market value, but the rest of the community is assessed at a lower level of assessment. Again, you should discuss this with your assessor. For example,

  • Your property is worth $100,000 and your assessment is $100,000. However, properties in your town are assessed at 90% of market value. Your property is overassessed - your assessment should be $90,000.

If you are assessed fairly, but you feel that your taxes are too high

Assessors do not determine your property taxes. If you feel as though your assessment accurately reflects the market value of your property, but you still feel that your property taxes are too high, you may wish to address this matter with the taxing jurisdictions that impose taxes in your community - school board, county legislature, city council, town board, fire district and other special districts.

The assessor cannot assist you with tax matters, but only with matters pertaining to the assessed value of your property.

Christopher Greco Appraisal Services has provided New York tax appeal appraisal services throughout Westchester County since 2000.  If you believe that your property value is less than your total tax value and assessment then you likely have a case to fight and grieve your New York property taxes!

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.

DEFINITIONS

Taxable Status/Exemption Filing Date:

The ownership and physical condition of real property as of this date are assessed (valued) according to price fixed as of the valuation date. All applications for property exemptions must be filed with assessor by this date.

Tentative Assessment Roll:

The assessor completes, certifies and files a roll containing proposed assessed values for each property in the assessing unit.

Grievance Day:

Board of Assessment Review meets to hear assessment complaints. Last day property owners may file a formal complaint seeking reduction in their tentative assessments.

Please note that we can not represent you at the hearing as appraisers are non-interested third parties. We can however, provide you with an independent opinion of value and assist you with your application.  

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.

 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 evidence. lthough we can not advocate for the homeowner, we are qualified to determine the fair market value or your home.
