At The Tax Relief Pro, we believe that understanding the process is the first step toward finding your savings. We know that property tax certiorari can seem complex, but our goal is to make it simple and transparent for you. The following steps outline how we work as your dedicated advocate, combining our local expertise with data-driven results to fight for a fairer assessment on your behalf. We're here to guide you, answer your questions, and ensure you feel confident and supported every step of the way.
THE 3-STEP PROCESS FOR PROPERTY TAX RELIEF
Get Started, Risk-Free
The first step is a simple one: you authorize us to file a tax grievance on your behalf by signing and returning our form before the official deadline. Get Started (apply for authorization form) We operate on a contingency basis, meaning you only pay us if we successfully lower your property's assessed value. Your filing will not trigger a home inspection or cause your assessment to increase; the only two outcomes are a reduction or for it to remain the same.
We Negotiate with Data & Expertise
Once we file the grievance, the Nassau County Assessment Review Commission (ARC) reviews our challenge. We use our expertise, knowledge, and technology to pursue multiple rounds of negotiation to achieve the reduction you deserve. If ARC makes a settlement offer, we will advise you in writing with our recommendation, based on our analysis of relevant sales data. We can also file a separate grievance for your Village assessment if we find a strong case.
You Get Your Savings
If we are successful in lowering your property tax assessment, your savings will be reflected through reduced tax bills, corrected bills, or a refund of overpayment. We will not bill you for our services until the tax bill is published so we can accurately calculate the savings we've achieved for you. Our mission is to ensure your property's assessed value is fair and accurate, ensuring you aren't paying a dollar more than you should be.

Let's Begin
Make sure to authorize The Tax Relief Pro to file a tax grievance on your property prior to the March 1 deadline
(click here to request a form now).
Once we file the grievance on your behalf,
the Nassau County Assessment Review Commission (ARC) has
until around March 31 of the following year to resolve our assessment challenge,
according to administrative code. If ARC makes a settlement offer,
we will advise you in writing.
Our letter will include the percentage of the potential reduction,
the new assessed value and a recommendation to either accept or
reject the offer based upon our review and analysis of the relevant sales data
and evidence. We have the experience, knowledge, technology and resources to
pursue multiple rounds of negotiations with ARC if necessary to achieve
the assessment reduction our clients rightfully deserve.
If the offer is accepted and the reduction is implemented,
you will receive tax bills based upon the reduced assessment beginning
with the current October School Tax bill and ending with the July
General Tax bill of the following year.
If the offer is rejected or no offer is made, the case may continue
with an appeal filed in Nassau County Supreme Court
for a Small Claims Assessment Review in April of that year.
We will then present the case for a reduction before a court-appointed hearing officer,
who should provide us with a hearing decision within 45 days.
If we are successful in lowering your current property tax assessment,
your savings will be reflected by either reduced tax bills,
beginning with the October 1st half School Tax, corrected tax bills
and/or a refund of overpayment.
However, we will not bill you for services rendered
until the January of the upcoming 1st half General Tax bill
which is published by Nassau County, so that we can accurately
calculate the savings.
It would be our pleasure to represent you in this
process!
