Reducing Your Long Island Residential Property Taxes
At Blutter & Blutter, they know how important it is that you are paying the proper amount on your property. It is for this reason, that they encourage you to consult with their legal team as soon as possible. When dealing with a residential property, they could help you look into many different methods to help reduce the property taxes that you are paying. For example, they could look into exemptions that will help to lower the amount of assessed value of your property.
Under New York law, there are many different exemptions that are provided to residents of the Long Island area. For example, there is a clergy exemption provided to members of the clergy for one piece of their property. This applies to any land owned by a clergy member who performs work according to their denomination, who is over the age of 70 and who is unable to work due to injury or illness. This, however, is just one example. Similarly, there are exemptions for the victims of criminal actions, as well as such exemptions as the Senior Citizen Homeowners' Exemption (SCHE) provided to those who fit requirements of age, income and residency.
Another action that can be taken with the assistance of an experienced lawyer is to appeal the tax assessment that was made on your property. Unfortunately, many of the applicable assessments were made when the real estate market was on its peak - meaning that your home's assessment could be for what it was valued at years ago, not the value that it holds today. There are, however, ways to challenge this assessment and file an appeal - which you can pursue with the help of a knowledgeable lawyer.
