Manhasset Property Tax Grievance Attorneys

Protect the Value of a High Value Property by Making Sure the Assessment Is Fair

Manhasset is one of Nassau County's higher value residential markets. That makes accurate valuation particularly important. When a property's value is substantial, even a relatively modest overassessment may result in a meaningful unnecessary tax expense. Blodnick, Fazio & Clark provides attorney led property tax grievance representation for Manhasset homeowners, investors, and commercial property owners.

Manhasset Is Not One Uniform Housing Market

Properties with Manhasset mailing addresses can differ enormously. The area includes traditional suburban homes, extensively renovated residences, larger estate style properties, newer construction, condominiums, and properties situated within different incorporated villages and neighborhoods. For that reason, we focus on property specific evidence rather than broad community averages. We consider relevant sales, size, condition, improvements, lot characteristics, construction quality, location, and other features affecting market value.

Municipal Boundaries Can Affect the Process

A Manhasset mailing address does not by itself tell the entire jurisdictional story. Some properties in the broader Manhasset area are located within incorporated villages. Where applicable, BFC reviews whether village level assessment or grievance requirements must also be considered.

High End Residential Valuation

Luxury and custom properties can be challenging to value because truly comparable transactions may be limited. In those matters, careful selection of market evidence is critical. We do not assume that every nearby high priced sale is comparable simply because it occurred in Manhasset.

Commercial Property Tax Appeals

BFC also represents owners of office, retail, mixed-use, multifamily, and other commercial properties. Commercial tax assessments may affect cash flow, lease expenses, investment returns, and asset value. Where appropriate, our analysis can incorporate income and expense information as well as market data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an expensive Manhasset home still be over assessed?

Absolutely. The issue is not whether the property is valuable, it is whether the assessment exceeds a fair and supportable value.

Does my village matter?

It can. We review the parcel's precise jurisdiction to identify applicable county and village assessment procedures. Furthermore, a property being located inside a village could impact valuation and must be carefully considered when selecting comparable evidence.  

Is a formal appraisal always required?

No. Evidence depends largely on the property and the nature of the valuation issue.

Can BFC handle commercial property?

Yes. We represent both residential and commercial owners.
