propertytax Do you think your home is over assessed? Here’s your chance to have your real estate tax bill reconsidered. Grievance Day is June 18, 2024 in Scarsdale and Greenburgh and here’s how you can file an application to have your assessment reviewed by the Board of Assessment Review.

Scarsdale

The following information can also be found on the Village website at Scarsdale.com.

The link to the Legal Notice and 2024 Tentative Assessment Roll is published on the home page of the Scarsdale website (https://www.scarsdale.com/).

In addition, everything anyone wants to know regarding “Challenging your assessment” is on the Assessor’s page.

Village Assessor Victoria Sirota explains, “We have an open-door policy and encourage residents to ask us questions regarding their assessments. We will be happy to review their assessments and answer questions. If residents think they are over assessed, we’ve created an on-line grievance application which can be found on this web-page. We encourage residents to use this portal to submit their grievance applications and documentation supporting the “value of their property." We encourage residents to call the Assessor’s Office Monday through Friday during regular business hours at 914-722-1134 or e-mail us at [email protected] with any questions."

The deadline for submitting a grievance application is Tuesday, June 18th at 8 pm.

I made an appointment with the Assessor last week. One hour before the meeting, her office called to ask if they can quickly tour my property. Upon meeting with her, the second sentence she said was "I can't help you" and your property is assessed correctly, although she admitted that she had not reviewed the case. She also leveled accusations instead of referring to the specific case and evidence.
She also references properties twice the size / sqf that sold recently, yet are assessed far lower.
Overall, a very negative and hostile experience and the opposite to an open door policy.
