ABOUT US
Cobra Consulting Group is a property tax
grievance specialist. Cobra files your property
tax assessment challenge, which is called a
grievance. The grievance is to have your
property assessment reduced. If your assessed
value is reduced, you will pay less in taxes
because your taxes are based on your assessed
value multiplied by the tax rate, whether its
the county, town or school tax rate. Since taxes
are going up, you will pay more, unless you
reduce your assessment. Nassau and Suffolk
homeowners can file a grievance once a year,
which is your right to challenge the assessment
that is set on your home. The assessed value
affects your property taxes and reducing your
assessed saves you money. If you do not
challenge, you will be paying for Nassau and/or
Suffolk county and town and school tax increases,
every year. When others successfully challenge,
those who do not challenge pay even more in
taxes.

consulting services. Cobras wide range of
services includes corporate, commercial,
intellectual property, real estate, land use and

provide consulting on a concierge basis so that

requirements efficiently and effectively met
without having to retain multiple outside service
providers in an expensive and inefficient manner.

are not legal in nature so that its clients do

attorney rates for work that does not require an

attorney is required, Cobra refers its clients to

Property tax reduction Nassau
Nassau County assesses property at a percentage
of full market value. In recent years that
percentage has varied from .25 to .17,
depending on whether a challenge was filed. In
recent years, as much as 90 of the challenges
have been successful. Therefore, it is to your
advantage to challenge your assessment. Once
again, you do this by challenging the full
equalized market value represented by the total
assessment and if that exceeds the actual market
value, the property is over-assessed. For
residential properties, an evaluation of
comparable sales must be prepared and then
submitted in support of your challenge.

In Nassau County, when you timely file your
challenge by March, ARC will typically advise you
of the result and/or seek a conference to discuss
a settlement before the end of the year, but
certainly no later than March of the following
year. If a reduction is obtained, the reduction
is reflected in the final tax role set for April
1st of the following year. As such, the reduced
assessment will be reflected on your tax bills.
No tax refund is necessary because you will not
have over-paid. On the other hand, if the ARC
decision is appealed through a SCAR proceeding,
and that decision is not made before the role is
finalized, a refund could be owed to the
homeowner. In recent years, ARC has made most
decisions prior to the tax role being finalized.
