Why Village of Babylon Assessments Are Often Too High

Village of Babylon properties are subject to multiple layers of taxation, including village, town, school district, and county taxes. While market conditions have shifted in recent years, assessments often lag behind actual sales data, particularly after periods of rapid appreciation. As a result, many Village of Babylon property owners are still being taxed based on inflated values that do not reflect current comparable sales, condition or age of the property, location-specific factors within the Village, or income and expense realities for rental or mixed-use properties. Filing a grievance is the only way to force a review of whether your assessment is fair and accurate.

Village of Babylon Grievance Filing Deadlines

Unlike unincorporated areas of the Town of Babylon, the Village of Babylon has its own grievance filing deadline, which occurs earlier in the year than the Town deadline. The Village filing period commences February 1st of each year, while the Town of Babylon filing period begins May 1st annually.

Missing the Village filing deadline generally means losing the opportunity to challenge that assessment for the entire tax year, even if the value is clearly excessive. Since Village deadlines can vary and are strictly enforced, it is important to review your assessment and act early. Our firm tracks Village-specific deadlines and ensures that all filings are timely and properly submitted.

Residential and Commercial Property Tax Appeals in the Village of Babylon

We represent Village of Babylon property owners across all property types, including single-family homes, waterfront and canal-adjacent properties, multi-family and rental properties, mixed-use buildings, and small commercial properties.

Each grievance is supported by property-specific market data, not generic assumptions. Where appropriate, we also pursue tax certiorari litigation where appropriate.

Filing a Grievance Will Not Increase Your Taxes

Many Village of Babylon homeowners hesitate to file a grievance out of concern that doing so may trigger an inspection or increase their taxes. That is a common misconception.

Filing a property tax grievance:

• does not raise your taxes if unsuccessful,
• does not adversely affect resale value, and
• does not result in penalties.

It is simply the legal process for ensuring your property is not over-assessed.
