Your property's taxable value (assessment) can only go down or stay the same, it CANNOT INCREASE as a result of filing.

We only collect a fee after obtaining a successful reduction.

No reduction = no fee; plain and simple. If you don't get a reduction there is no charge as we absorb all costs.

We only challenge the assessed value of your property, not the tax rates for the School and General tax. Tax rates are set by county legislature and the local Town, Village or School Boards.

The grievance process can take anywhere from 12 to 18 months, start to finish. This is simply due to the backlog in the courts and the number of cases that are filed every year. Once you file a grievance, you are locked into that filing year, so if we are successful in getting you a reduction after the tax bills come out a refund will be issued.

No, no one from the Town or Assessor's office is allowed to enter your home. If they request to enter your home kindly deny them entry.  The case law regarding this matter is clear, they are not allowed to inspect without a warrant and the Assessor must use the information they already have on the details of your property. 

Yes if you received a reduction last year it is necessary to wait another year to file again.

Yes, lowering the taxes actually makes your house more valuable. This is because in order to get a mortgage, a portion of the payments must go to paying the property taxes, thus limiting the pool of buyers and the demand for your house.

We only charge 50% of the first year's tax savings, if we are successful, a $30 court filing fee and $75 appraisal fee where applicable. If we don't save you money, we don't charge anything.

Yes, you have a right to grieve the property taxes if the house is in contract, Tax Correction Service has you covered.
