Do You Need a Tax Grievance?

Real Estate June 12, 2019

Are you paying too much in real estate taxes?

A tax grievance is a formal complaint filed against a town's assessed value on a particular parcel of property. Any person who pays property taxes can grieve an assessment, including:

  • Property owners
  • Purchasers
  • Tenants who are required to pay property taxes pursuant to a lease or written agreement

Only the assessment on the current tentative assessment roll can be grieved - you can't grieve assessments from prior years. If your property is located in a village that assesses property, you will have two assessments, one for the village and one for the town.

2025 Tax Grievance Deadlines:

  • Nassau Deadline April 1
  • Suffolk Deadline May 20

For the past two years, the law firm of Schroder & Strom, LLP has come to Lucky to Live Here Realty to discuss the process of grieving your taxes. Since 2000, the tax certiorari law firm of Schroder & Strom has focused on real estate litigation, successfully reducing taxes for commercial and residential clients in Nassau County and Suffolk County, throughout New York State in over 1000 counties, and in New Jersey, Connecticut and Florida.
