Comparable sales, income data, and building condition evidence. RegWatch provides assessment data and comparables.

File with Tax Commission

File an application with the NYC Tax Commission by March 15 (Class 1) or March 1 (Class 2/3/4).

Attend your hearing

Present your case. If unsuccessful, you can file an Article 7 proceeding in court.
