Nassau Resident - Tax Reduction Services
I get a few mailings a week from several different tax reduction agencies (Maidenbaum, Fred Perry, etc...), telling me I should be concerned with the upcoming assessment roll. Has anyone used their services to grieve taxes? Are they legit? and was it worth it?

I haven't used a service, you can do it yourself if you want. The services will take a % of the money you save and some take a small flat fee as well. They will always say to be concerned with the assessment roll, its a way to bait you into using them.

Re: Nassau Resident - Tax Reduction Services
I have too much on my plate and have no intentions of doing it myself. I was wondering if anyone else used one of these companies. anyone?

Re: Nassau Resident - Tax Reduction Services
i have been using maidenbaum for years. I recently posted that i finally WON! 1K per year... so i owe them $500.00
but my decrease within a year will pay off... not this year, but at least next year (escrow will decrease as long as % doesn't increase!!)
GOOD LUCK!

Thanks so much! was there a lot of effort/paperwork on your part to fill out? or did they take the reigns?

Re: Nassau Resident - Tax Reduction Services
We haven't done it yet but we just found out at closing that the previous owners did, and the company takes a % based on the savings. We're probably going to do it and a few people mentioned it's worked for them .

We use Scott Stone (516) 593-0202. Our initial grievance was denied and he went to court and appealed and we won.

I was able to do it myself and had the property reassessed to a lower number but how do you know how much you saved and when does the savings kick in. The letter that I received from the County says nothing about this.
