What is a grievance and what am I grieving?

A property tax grievance is the process to challenge and reduce your property's assessed value. Your tax bill is calculated by multiplying the assessed value times that year's tax rates. 

​

Why is I Grieve You Save different?

I Grieve You Save is run by a Nassau County homeowner who feels the same as you do and wanted to give back. We didn't think it was fair for a company to take 50% of your savings. We felt that the homeowner should reap the benefit of the savings. We are always available to speak to via email, phone, text.

We have a form to complete. The form will take you just a few minutes to complete.  You can access the form here:  2026-2027 I Grieve You Save Form

What is included in the flat fee price?

We will also file a re-appeal for the same year at no additional fee if the initial grievance receives no reduction.

​

What is the deadline to file this year?

The deadline to file this year is March 3, 2025. We request that you complete the form by February 20, 2025 so we have enough time to research and file your tax grievance.

​
