As the property tax appeal season in New York State approaches, HK is reminding clients of the important deadlines that must be met to ensure the timely filing of appeals. It is essential to remember that appeals must be filed annually, and there is no retrospective relief in New York without a pending appeal. Furthermore, if a deadline is missed, there is no relief possible. Therefore, it is crucial to act now to avoid missing any deadlines.

Over the next few months, the following deadlines should be considered:

• April 3, 2023 – Deadline for Nassau County ASIE submission for all commercial taxpayers (not just those filing appeals)
• April 3, 2023 – 2024/25 Nassau County, Long Island administrative deadline
• No later than April 30, 2023 – Perfection of 2023/24 Nassau County challenges
• May 16, 2023 – 2023/24 Suffolk County, Long Island Town administrative deadline
• May 23, 2023 – 2023/24 most Hudson Valley and Upstate New York Town filing deadlines
• June 1, 2023 – Deadline for filing  NYC RPIE-2022
• June 20, 2023 – 2023 most Westchester County Towns and Cities

It is important to note that this list is not exhaustive, and every local jurisdiction has its deadline. Therefore, it is imperative to consult with a lawyer familiar with the specific jurisdiction to avoid missing any deadlines.

We would also like to remind clients that if they have new properties that require review, including properties in contract, they should contact HK as soon as possible. Early review of properties can help identify issues and avoid potential problems that may arise during the appeal process.

HK urges clients to take action now to avoid missing any critical property tax appeal deadlines. Failing to file a timely appeal can result in substantial financial losses. Therefore, it is essential to consult with a knowledgeable lawyer to ensure timely and effective appeal filings. For more information, please contact us.
