For Commercial Property:
Each commercial property tax appeal has its unique set of factors that determine the range of legal services for the property tax assessment challenge. Whether your property classification has increased or decreased in market demand relative to other property classifications, or whether the use may be readily altered are factors in the valuation. The type of property, the magnitude of the difference between the assessed value and the fair market value, the market demand and/or obsolescence for the property classification and the improvement history will impact the scope of services necessary.
For Residential Property:
We will conduct a review of your property and market comparables based upon similar size, style and condition properties in your area. The property tax valuation in each community has been affected has been affected by economic trends and subsequent recovery. Through the present, some communities have recovered well, with large new construction taking the lead, while other communities are still depressed from that time period. We have served hundreds of residential clients throughout New York and Connecticut and conduct an in depth and confidential review of your property tax assessment. If you purchased your property at the height of the real estate market or “over-improved” larger estates and new construction, your assessment is most likely excessive.
Based upon the foregoing, as well as staying informed of current court cases involving property tax appeals, we prepare a thorough property valuation analysis that is the basis for successfully resolving your property tax appeal.
