Apologies for my ignorance on this matter, but I'm being flooded with these tax grievance forms from various lawyers. Are there any negatives, or should I be attempting this every year? Thanks in advance.

Just like sex, it's best to do it as frequently as possible.

Really? Any penalties if it fails? Do I have to pay the lawyer?

why pay a lawyer...unlike sex, it's best to just do it yourself.

You only pay if they get you a decrease.

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but could someone please explain the process for filing for a tax grievance. I just purchased a house last fall, and i wouldn't even know how to get started on the process.

When you file for a grievance is there any way for your taxes to go up?

The only possible negative I can see is the resultant loss of equity in your home if you were to go for a home equity loan and the bank uses assessor records as part of its valuation.
