Step-by-Step Instructions for Filing a Property Tax Grievance in Nassau County
Nassau County homeowners need to start preparing their applications for the 2019 filing period before the madness of the holidays sets in. Once Halloween ends, we start on the crash course for Thanksgiving and time starts to fly right after that. Get your applications in sooner rather than later!
Step 1: Submit Your Application
- Go to our website and fill out an application so we can better understand your situation.
Step 2: Assessment Review Commission
- In Nassau County, the assessment board is called the Assessment Review Commission (ARC).
- This is the first step in the process and we have had a lot of success here over our nearly 30 years in the business.
Step 3: Small Claims Assessment Review
- If you are denied at the board level this is the next place to go.
- We have been extremely successful here and with our Comparable Market Analysis and skilled staff, we are confident in our ability to earn reductions.
- If we fail, there will be NO FEE charged!
Step 4: Court Filing Fee
- At the Small Claims Assessment Review stage, there will be a $30 fee to purchase an index number which ensures that your case is heard.
Step 5: Receive Your Reduction
- The reduction can be reflected on your tax bills as the reduced value.
- You may receive a refund check that can be issued for the over-payment of taxes.
- The final method would be a combination of the two. Some may appear as a reduced rate and the rest will come in a refund check.
