Westchester County Tax Grievance FAQs

Everything you need to know about the process and how it works. Can't find an answer to your question?

This is when you challenge the assessment given to your property ie. $500,000. If we can prove your home is worth less, we can reduce the assessment to match the lower price. We do this by comparing your home with similiar homes recently sold in your area.

All we need from you is a signature that allows us to be your representative during the process. After that is completed and confirmed, we will handle the court apperances, paperwork, and research.

If you use a tax grievance firm, like Aventine, it will cost nothing upfront. If we are successsful in reducing your assessment we charge a one-time fee of 50% of the first year's savings. There are two additional fees, $30 court filing fee and a $75 appraisal fee.

First and foremost is by challenging your assessment by filing a tax grievance. Second, is by applying to exemptions ie. Veterans, Senior and STAR. Lastly is by attening town budget meetings and seeing what your property tax dollars are funding.

Typically the first stage at the Board of Assessment Review (BAR) will take around 3 months. However cases are usually denied and appeal at Small Claims Assessment Review (SCAR) is necessary, making this a year long process.

Westchester county works with previous years assessments, meaning they use 2022 assessments for your 2023 tax bills. So if you file in 2023 you won't see an assessment change until 24/25 tax year. Westchester has always been on time with their adjustments and we have yet to see any refunds from this county.
