Property-tax appeals in New York
Deadlines, evidence, and a packet you file yourself — for homes, multifamily, and commercial property in New York.
State rules verified from public sources| Deadline rule | File Form RP-524 (Complaint on Real Property Assessment) with the assessor or Board of Assessment Review so it is RECEIVED by Grievance Day — the fourth Tuesday in May in most communities (shared-assessor municipalities may set a date up to the second Tuesday in June; Suffolk third Tuesday in May; Westchester third Tuesday in June). |
|---|---|
| First hearing body | Local Board of Assessment Review; then judicial review by Small Claims Assessment Review (SCAR, eligible owner-occupied 1-3 family homes) or tax certiorari in Supreme Court, started within 30 days of the filing of the final assessment roll or notice of filing, whichever is later. |
New York City and Nassau County run separate systems with earlier deadlines: NYC complaints by March 15 (Class One) or March 1 (other classes) to the NYC Tax Commission; Nassau County by March 1 to the Assessment Review Commission. Only the current tentative roll can be grieved — prior years cannot. Confirm your community Grievance Day with the assessor; a mailed form must be received (not merely postmarked) by Grievance Day.
What wins in New York
Homes are argued on comparable sales and uniformity. Income property is argued on the income approach — rent roll, expenses, and a supported cap rate. The packet builds the argument that matches your property type, with your evidence organised as exhibits.
