Yes. Nassau and Suffolk County Homeowners can file a Property Tax Grievance every year.**
A significant number of Homeowners mistakenly believe that once they file a grievance and receive a reduction, they can never file again. In reality, property Assessments Values and real estate market conditions can change from year to year. A property that was fairly assessed one year may become overvalued the next due to changes in the market, Assessment Value increases, or updates to property records.
That’s why many experienced Homeowners review their Assessment Value annually. Filing a Property Tax Grievance each year helps ensure that your Assessment Value remains fair and that you are not paying more than your fair share of property taxes.
Even if you:
- Filed a Property Tax Grievance in the past
- Received a prior reduction
- Currently receive STAR, Enhanced STAR benefits, or other Homeowner exemptions
- Were previously denied a reduction
Why Review Your Assessment Every Year?
Property values are constantly changing. A successful grievance one year does not guarantee that your Assessment Value will remain fair in future years. By reviewing your assessment annually, you can identify potential opportunities for additional savings and ensure your property is being assessed accurately.
**Suffolk County Please note that Suffolk County has a limitation following a successful reduction. If a reduction is granted for a particular tax year, the homeowner is generally limited from filing a Property Tax Grievance for the following tax year.
However, exceptions may apply. If your property’s Assessment Value changes for the following year after the reduction due to improvements, corrections to the property record, or other qualifying changes, you may still be eligible to file a grievance despite the filing restriction.
Because eligibility rules can vary, Homeowners should consult with a qualified Property Tax Grievance professional to determine whether they qualify to file.
