Town of Southold Property Tax Grievance

Town of Southold

Long Island, New York

The Town of Southold includes some of the most unique real estate on Long Island, from vineyards and farmland, to waterfront homes stretching along the North Fork shoreline. As the market shifts year to year, assessments do not always reflect true value, and many property owners end up paying more in taxes than they should.

We help Southold homeowners, landlords, and commercial property owners challenge over-assessed valuations through the Suffolk County tax grievance process, with no legal fees earned unless we reduce your taxes and/or secure a tax refund.

Whether your property is seasonal or year-round, agricultural or residential, we’ll review your assessment and determine whether a reduction is achievable.

We routinely handle grievances for properties located everywhere in the Town of Southampton, including but not limited to:

• Cutchogue
• East Marion
• Greenport Village
• Laurel
• Mattituck
• New Suffolk
• Orient
• Peconic
• Southold

Waterfront exposure, private roads, and agricultural exemptions can all influence market value, and sometimes lead to incorrect tax assessments.

Town of Southold Grievance Deadline:

All Town of Southold properties follow the Suffolk County filing deadline, which is the third Tuesday in May, each year. If your property is also located in an assessing and incorporated village, a separate grievance may be necessary, and since the deadlines for villages vary considerably, it is important to contact us today to ensure filing filings. Missing the deadline means waiting an entire year. We handle all timing and paperwork so you never risk losing out on potential savings and/or refunds.

How Do You Know If You're Over-Assessed?

You may be paying too much in property taxes if comparable homes in your area are selling for less than your assessment, your home needs repairs or updates the assessor hasn’t accounted for, your assessment jumped significantly without clear reason, you haven’t challenged your assessment recently—or ever, or your taxes keep going up while your property value hasn’t.

It costs nothing to find out. We’ll review the numbers and give you an honest opinion.

Why Work With Us?

Reducing your taxes isn’t just about filling out a form. It requires understanding local data, how assessors value property, and what evidence supports a reduction.

We provide:

• Attorney-backed representation;
• Valuation analysis based on real local sales;
• Full handling of the grievance and subsequent court proceeding;
• Support for both residential and commercial properties; and,
• You pay no legal fees unless we lower your taxes.

We deal with Southold's assessors and hearing officers so you don’t have to.
