Frequently Asked Questions

Every year, you have the opportunity to challenge your property taxes in Nassau County. The deadline to file is March 1st. Don't let previous denials discourage you – persistence can pay off! Appealing your assessment is a powerful tool to potentially lower your tax bill. Don't wait - start the process today! Limited Intake Period: To ensure we can dedicate the time and attention necessary to each case, we generally accept new clients between September 1st and February 28th. Benefits of Early Sign-Up: By signing up before September 1st, you'll be guaranteed a spot for the upcoming grievance cycle. This gives us ample time to gather evidence, build a strong case, and fight for the maximum possible property tax reduction on your behalf.

There are two ways to pay for our services: Option A) Fixed Cost: Pay a one-time fee of $239 upfront. This fee covers our efforts, even if the initial assessment remains unchanged. All savings are yours to keep. OR Option B) Success-Based: Pay 30% of the amount we save you on your first year's property taxes after the county finalizes your bill. Let's say we successfully reduce your property taxes by $1,000. With our performance-based fee, you'd only pay us $300. No reduction = no fee.

Flat Fee: If you chose our flat fee service and sell your home before the assessment is finalized, you can negotiate with the buyer to cover the $239 fee. After all, they'll be the one benefiting from the potentially lowered property taxes. Performance-Based Fee: If you haven't received your final tax bill yet and opted for the performance-based fee, it's wise to include a clause in your sales contract stating that the buyer will be responsible for our 30% fee if we successfully reduce your property taxes.

Don't worry, filing a grievance won't impact your existing exemptions!

Thinking someone will visit your house to check for changes? Nope! Filing a grievance is a paper-based process. We'll handle it all, even a court hearing if needed. Save money without the hassle!

No. Many homeowners hesitate to file a property tax grievance because of a common misconception: that filing a grievance could lead to an increase in their taxes. Let us assure you, this is absolutely not true! Filing a grievance is a way to challenge your property's assessed value, and the only possible outcomes are a successful reduction in your taxes, or no change at all. Your taxes will never go up simply because you exercised your right to challenge the assessment.

While the grievance process can take time, often exceeding a year, there's a silver lining! Any reduction in your property tax will be applied retroactively to the beginning of the tax year you filed. So, even if your case isn't settled immediately, you'll still receive a refund for the overpayment you made.
