Regardless of whether you're new to Long Island or an established homeowner in Nassau or Suffolk County, this time of year is one that you cannot ignore - it's filing season! Filing season for property tax grievances, that is. Every year homeowners just like you are overwhelmed with how much they have to pay in property taxes, but we at P.T.R.C. Inc. know that many times homeowners pay more than their fair share of property tax - this is why we so strongly recommend that you file a tax grievance.

If filing a tax grievance is in fact on your to-do list, here are a few important things to keep in mind:

• The filing deadline for Nassau County is March 1, 2017. The filing deadline for Suffolk County is May 16, 2017.
• The P.T.R.C. Inc. team does not charge you a fee to be qualified, and we will not charge a fee if there is no reduction. Our fees only apply to successful cases.
• The grievance process can take 18-24 months in Nassau County and 12-18 months in Suffolk County, so you will want to get your application in early!
• The owner, other applicant-taxpayer, or a representative who has the applicant's written authorization is permitted to sign the application form.
• If your request for a reduction is turned down, your property taxes will remain unchanged and you may file again next year if you'd like.
• Most incorporated villages require a separate filing if you want to grieve their taxes - contact us for more information if you have questions about this.
