TAX GRIEVANCE COMMON CONCERNS & FACTS

“I’m afraid my taxes will go up.”

Your taxes cannot go up as a result of filing a property tax grievance.

“Will someone from the town come into my house?”

There is a landmark decision which now protects homeowners from the threat of a home inspection due to filing a tax grievance.

“I already have a STAR exemption.”

The STAR exemption (and all other exemptions you qualify for) will not be affected by a tax challenge.

“Do I have to appear in court?”

NO. If an appeal is filed, we do all the work and go to court on your behalf. It’s a part of our service.

“Will the value of my house go down”

In reality, high taxes bring down property values. Reducing your taxes increases the value of your home.

“My property tax is about the same as my neighbors’ so there’s no need for me to file.”

We have found whole neighborhoods or sub-divisions that are over-assessed. You should not assume that your assessment is correct because your property taxes are similar to your neighbors. Perhaps you & your neighbors should file a challenge. Call us about our neighborhood discount program.

“Do I have to pay the fee to you year after year?”

No, it is a one-time fee. After the first year all subsequent savings are yours.

“Do I need to get an appraisal?”

NO. A certified appraisal is not required. We do an in-depth Comparative Market Analysis as part of our service.

“The assessor said I’m being properly taxed”

If the assessor was always right we wouldn’t be in business.

“Am I qualified?”

Every homeowner is qualified to challenge their assessment.More questions…Call our office to speak with one of our specialists who will address all of your concerns.
