2011 Deadline for Villages is Tuesday February 15, 2011.  Call Now to Start Your Assessment Review.

(518) 477-5408

The challenging economic conditions of the last few years have forced homeowners to stretch their money further and further.  At the same time, the cities, towns and villages in which you live have turned to raising property values and property tax rates to close big budget gaps.   The result – homeowners are forced to shoulder heavier and heavier tax burdens each year by levying higher and higher tax assessments and tax rates each year.  Tired of paying big tax bills each year?   There’s a way to fight it.

The New York Real Property Tax Law allows homeowners to challenge their tax assessments, with the help of an attorney you have a good chance of reducing your tax bill for years to come.  Its a worthwhile investment that pays you back year after year.

But there is a trick – the law has a very specific procedure that must be followed, and certain deadlines cannot be missed or the property owner will be out of luck for the year.  If you live in a village your deadline is typically the third Tuesday of February.  If you live in a town or city, the deadline is typically fourth Tuesday of May.  Call today and we can talk about how to effectively challenge your tax assessment and what we need to do to save you money for years to come.

Of course, there’s always the question of attorney’s fees.  We work on a modified contingency fee basis so you don’t have any major costs up front.  We collect a percentage of the amount saved after we reduce your tax burden.  In other words, we can save you a bunch this year, and then even more in years to come.  If you haven’t challenged your taxes what are you waiting for?

Call us today, don’t miss the deadline – (518) 477-5408.
