Levittown Property Tax Grievance Attorneys

Your Home May Have Changed. Your Assessment Should Reflect What It Is Actually Worth.

Levittown presents an unusual property-tax valuation issue. Many homes began with similar postwar designs, but decades of renovations, dormers, extensions, conversions, additions, and complete rebuilds have created enormous differences from one property to another. That makes careful comparable-property analysis especially important.

At Blodnick, Fazio & Clark, our attorneys represent Levittown property owners who want to determine whether their Nassau County assessment is fair.

Why Levittown Comparables Matter
A nearby sale is not automatically a good comparable merely because the houses share a ZIP code or began with a similar original floor plan. For valuation purposes, important differences may include living area square footage, dormers and second-story additions, extensions, bedroom and bathroom count, garages and conversions, lot size, renovation quality, overall condition and location. Our goal is to determine what evidence actually supports the value of your property—not simply select the highest or lowest sale in the neighborhood.

How a Levittown Property Tax Grievance Works
A tax grievance challenges the assessment assigned to the property. If that assessment reflects a value greater than can reasonably be supported by the market, a reduction may be warranted. BFC reviews the assessment and available market information, prepares the filing, communicates with the Assessment Review Commission, evaluates settlement opportunities, and determines whether additional review is appropriate. Homeowners do not need to become assessment experts simply to determine whether they may be overpaying.

Recent Buyers Should Review Their Assessment
A recent arm's-length purchase can be especially relevant to an assessment review. If you recently purchased a Levittown home and the municipality's indicated value materially exceeds what the property actually sold for, that is information worth reviewing. The sale price is not necessarily the only evidence that matters, but it can be an important part of the valuation analysis.

Commercial and Investment Property
BFC's represents many landlords, investors, and commercial property owners throughout the Levittown area and Nassau County. Income producing property can require review of rental income, expenses, occupancy, market rents, capitalization rates, and other information that does not arise in an ordinary single-family residential grievance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does an addition automatically prevent me from obtaining a reduction?
No. Improvements can affect market value, but the question remains whether the resulting assessment is supportable.

Can I grieve every year?
Yes, and it is generally recommended to do so. Nassau County establishes a new assessment cycle annually. If you believe a new assessment is excessive, it should be reviewed even if you previously filed a grievance.

Will BFC tell me if filing does not make sense?
Yes. The purpose of the complimentary review is to determine whether there appears to be a reasonable basis to pursue relief.
