Suffolk County property taxes continue to rise, and many homeowners and landlords are now paying more than they should. When your assessment doesn’t accurately reflect your home’s true market value, you are likely overpaying every single year.


We help property owners throughout Suffolk County challenge over-assessed valuations and lower their tax burden and we do not earn a fee unless reduce your assessment.


If you own property in Suffolk County, now is the time to review your assessment and make sure you aren’t paying more than your fair share.


The deadline to file a grievance against Suffolk County towns is the third Tuesday in May of each year. Missing this deadline means waiting another full year to challenge your assessment. If your property is also located in a village which separately assesses, then it may be prudent to file a grievance with that municipality as well.
