What to Do If You Missed Out on Property Tax Reductions

The property tax reduction season has ended in Suffolk County and that means it is the end of yet another successful year here on Long Island. Our team is hard at work collecting and analyzing those Suffolk County grievances and we hope you all have a chance to see the results you desire. Here are some things to try if you missed out on tax reductions this year»

Sulk/ Be Mad at Yourself 

There are a variety of different ways to cope with missing out on your property taxes. Some are more acceptable than others and we strongly advise against going into a depressive state. You certainly should have listened to our MANY warnings about the grievance deadline, but there is always next year! We have been in the business for over thirty years and every season we try to get better. Whether that means bringing on new employees or researching new outlets for reductions, we will not let anything get in between us and earning the best possible reductions for our clients.

Budget Tips 

Missing out on tax reductions doesn't mean you have to miss out on all the savings. There are a variety of different ways you can save on utilities throughout the Summer. Here are just a few: 

• Changing air filters will allow your unit to use 30% less energy during the summer months. 
• Open windows at night ONLY to naturally lower the temperature in your home. 
• Placing ice in front of a fan will allow for spot cooling and less air conditioner use. 
• Brush your teeth in the shower during the Summer to save clean water. 
• Start a family change jar and save up for a small family vacation at the end of Summer!
