It’s Time to Grieve Your Property Taxes

This is your yearly friendly reminder — it’s time to grieve your real estate taxes.

Are you a homeowner? If so, you have probably received or will soon be receiving  your most recent property tax assessment. The time to appeal this assessment is limited and you don’t want to miss your window to file. (The time to file varies with where in New York you live).

You can file a grievance yourself, or assign a representative, and all the information is available online. See below for tips to help you.

Nassau Country

• You must file your grievance between 1/2/25 and 3/3/25.
• The Nassau County Assessment Review Commission offers a video to help explain the process, as well as instructions on How to Appeal Your Assessment.
• The Assessment Review Commission also has a printable brochure that you can download.

New York City, including Queens

• The deadline to file is 3/1/25 or 3/15/25, depending on the type of property.

Suffolk County and other New York places outside of NYC or Nassau

• The New York State Department of Taxation offers instructions on how to grieve your taxes.
• In Suffolk County the deadline to grieve your taxes is 5/20/25.
• Here is an Assessment grievance form in fill-able PDF format. You may complete it yourself or have someone else do it. You must file it with the assessor or board of assessment in your city or town (ie: Huntington).
• If your property is located in a village that assesses property, and you are assessed both village and town taxes, you must grieve both assessments with separate copies of the form.
