There has been a public outcry in many communities throughout the country about the meteoric rise in property taxes. It seems houses are a permanent 'tax cow'. In lieu of a complete overhaul in the distribution of municipal and school taxes, which is long overdue, taxpayers need to work within the existing system to hopefully get some relief. Because real property taxes in New York are based on market value, 'Ad Valorem', the assessed value of your home determines how much you pay to the various taxing districts; school, town/city, village, county, etc.  Most local assessors are reasonable and knowledgeable and will assist you in the process and be straightforward, while others are not despite their claims to the contrary. This is why you should associate yourself with a professional who can offer guidance and valuation services as well as facilitate the selection of a property tax advocacy expert to ensure you get due process.
