Over-assessment analysis + intro to a tax appeal attorney.
We compare your property's assessed value against recent comparable sales and flag likely over-assessments (free). If signals match, we refer you to a tax certiorari attorney who files the appeal. Their fee is a percentage of first-year tax savings — no savings, no fee.

How it works
1
Assessment benchmark
Your property's current assessed value is compared to recent sales of comparable buildings in your BBL cluster. If the assessment is meaningfully above market, we flag it.
2
Eligibility check
We'll tell you exactly how much we think you're over-assessed by, and an estimated year-one savings if the appeal succeeds.

Intro to a tax certiorari attorney
If you want to proceed, we hand you to a licensed tax cert attorney in your state. They file the petition (NY RPTL § 730 / NJ county tax board / CT Superior Court) and negotiate with the assessor.
4
Attorney engagement is between you two
Engagement terms — including any contingent structure — are set by the attorney. RegWatch makes the introduction; we don't bill or take a cut on this.
What's included
No charge from RegWatch. Attorney engages directly with the owner; their billing is between you and them.
FAQ
Is this a scam or "too good to be true"?
Tax grievance is a regulated legal process. Thousands of property owners file annually across NY/NJ/CT. We're the detection + routing layer; partner attorneys are state-bar licensed.
What properties are typically over-assessed?
Older buildings in rapidly-changing neighborhoods, recently-purchased properties whose assessment hasn't caught up, and properties with unusual lot characteristics (narrow, irregular) often show divergence.
How long does it take?
NYC: March 15 deadline; settlement typically 4-9 months. NJ: county-by-county; appeals filed by April 1 of the tax year. CT: Board of Assessment Appeals deadlines vary by town. Litigated cases take 12-18 months.
Will it affect my mortgage or insurance?
No. A reduced assessment means LOWER property taxes, which most lenders prefer. Insurance is based on replacement cost, not assessment.
Does RegWatch charge for this?
No. The intro is no-charge. Attorney engagement terms are between you and the attorney.
