Anyone can grieve or challenge their property value assessment. In Tuxedo Park, the Board of Trustees by Resolution act as the Property Tax Grievance Board on a Hold-Over basis.

Grievance procedures

Any person who pays property taxes can grieve an assessment, including:

property owners

purchasers

tenants who are required to pay property taxes according to a lease or written agreement

Owners can grieve only the assessment on the current tentative assessment roll - you can't grieve assessments from prior years.

There is no cost to grieve an assessment, and it does not require you to hire a lawyer.

Filing the grievance form

Properties outside New York City and Nassau County

Use Form RP-524, Complaint on Real Property Assessment, to grieve your assessment. The form can be completed by yourself or your representative or attorney.

File the grievance form with the assessor or the board of assessment review (BAR) in your city or town.

If your property is located in a village that assesses property, you will have two assessments, one for the village and one for the town. To grieve both assessments, you are required to file a separate Form RP-524 with both the town and village. Grievance dates for villages will vary from the towns - contact your village clerk to determine if your village assesses property and for grievance dates.
