Nassau County property taxes and taxable value are some of the highest in the nation.

New York taxable values are continually going up, and property taxes are following them. This is magnified many times over in Nassau, making any tax reduction worth its weight in gold.

How to Achieve Nassau County Property Tax Reduction
While exemptions and the STAR programs are relatively easy, just requiring the right paperwork, grieving your taxes is a whole different kettle of fish. Grieving your taxes, also known as appealing, can open new avenues in the quest for reductions. Filing a property tax grievance in Nassau County can be a difficult proposition, as it requires study, evidence, and time to put together the best case possible. However, if it is done correctly, a property tax grievance has the potential to bring in major savings that could not be achieved elsewhere. While it can vary wildly across New York, the grievance window in Nassau County is between January and March 1.
How Can O’Connor Lower my Taxes?
Property taxes in New York are complicated, Long Island more so, and Nassau most of all. With a high dollar value attached to every property and a premium on space, the county offers unique challenges for the state. Far from a cookie-cutter suburb, the county is filled with pre-war homes, vintage properties, and some newer construction that has been custom-made. This means that making comparisons through sales records or assessments can be tricky, as each home or business has a unique flair all its own. That is where our databases and local experts come in.
We at O’Connor have patented and proprietary databases that cover home sales across Nassau and Long Island. Our researchers can pull from this and use this curated evidence to prove the true value of your home. Frank Grampone leads our New York office, which handles residential properties for Nassau and Suffolk counties, in addition to commercial properties in New York City. With a local branch office, we have experts right there on Long Island. Each of the researchers and agents know the territory, the laws, and what evidence is required for a successful grievance. This gives us an edge that other national companies do not. We can put boots on the ground to find the best evidence possible.
Even better, you will not be handed an upfront bill or ambushed by a hidden fee. Instead, you will only pay us if we are able to get your taxes lower. There is no risk, as contesting your taxes cannot raise your taxes or lower the resale value of your home or business. You can potentially save thousands of dollars every year with no downside. We will represent you in every venue needed to get you the best deal on your grievance or appeal. Contact us today to get started on reviewing your assessment, checking your exemptions, or filing a grievance on your behalf.
