Property Tax Reductions
I have successfully handled numerous tax reduction applications and certiorari proceedings for many residential, commercial and farm properties. I have achieved substantial reductions in assessed values for homeowners as well as owners and managers of commercial, retail and residential buildings. I have negotiated reductions in assessed value before City, Town and Village Boards of Assessment Review and in the Supreme Court in Westchester and Putnam.
Real estate tax certiorari is the legal process in which a property owner can challenge the real estate tax assessment on their property in order to reduce the property’s assessment and their annual real estate taxes. Although many real estate developers, owners and managers are familiar with real estate tax certiorari proceedings, not all take advantage of the opportunity afforded by this legal process which I usually handle on a contingency fee basis.
