I hereby authorize The Tax Relief Pro to act as my representative in filing all necessary documents to properly manage the property tax grievance process. At your sole discretion, you are also authorized to file a Small Claims Assessment Review (SCAR) petition with the New York State Supreme Court to pursue a tax reduction on my behalf.
Additionally, The Tax Relief Pro is authorized to request and receive any refund resulting from a successful reduction of my property assessment. In cases where there is overpayment of taxes, The Tax Relief Pro is authorized, to collect and deposit those refunds and deduct all that is owed to The Tax Relief Pro. I acknowledge that there is no guarantee of a successful outcome.
I agree to compensate you as follows:
Compensation Terms:
1. Fee - I agree to pay a fee equal to 50% of the total annual tax savings (including school, general, and applicable village taxes) resulting from a reduction in my assessed property value and any additional interest associated. This fee is due upon receipt of the decision granting a reduction. I undertsand the savings will be in the form of either reduced 2028-2029 School tax bills and/or 2029 General Tax bills and/or 2028-2029 Village tax bills, a refund of overpayment and/or credit on the following year’s tax bill.
If payment is not made within thirty (30) days’ notice of the reduction, I agree to reimburse all reasonable costs associated with the collection of the amount owed, including attorney’s fees and interest on any outstanding balance.
2. Sale of Property - If the subject property is sold before the fee obligation is fulfilled, the fee shall be incorporated into the contract of sale and paid by the buyer. A copy of the contract must be provided to The Tax Relief Pro. If I, as the seller, fail to ensure this is included in the contract, I remain personally responsible for the fee.
3. Additional Terms: I may cancel this agreement within three (3) days of signing and receive a full refund.
