If you live in Nassau County, the official deadline to grieve your taxes this year is March 1st!
Since that's a Saturday, they'll accept grievances till Monday, March 3rd.
You can try and do this yourself, or hire one of a number of grievance companies. They usually charge nothing if they're not successful, but get 50% of the first year's savings if they are; most also charge a nominal appraisal fee if successful as well as a small filing fee if they handle the appeals process.
If you're like me you're probably getting dozens of solicitations from grievance companies so the deadline is hard to forget. I did mine myself and attached a recent bank appraisal (bought my house in December) to support my claim that they've over-valued my house by $60k.
I'd like to do this on my own but I see that the county's website only allows you to search recent sales to use as comparison for house values. Is there a way to search the assessed values of homes that were not recently sold?
I'd like to find similar houses in my neighborhood with a lower assessed market values than mine to use as a comp in order to grieve my market value.

Although I see it says that they will not raise values....
has anyone had that happen?
my value isn't terrible, better than some, but I could submit a claim based upon current sales that would lower my assessment. I just don't want to try and save a few bucks and end up being on a "list of undervalued houses"...........

I've never heard of anyone have their assessment increase as a result of a grievance.
So identical houses in your neighborhood with lower assessments can't be used as examples to substantiate that your house is over assessed unless they have been recently sold? Similar houses in the same neighborhood should have roughly the same assessed market value regardless of when they were sold.
Has anyone been successful in grieving their taxes using examples of houses with older sale dates?
I think what matters most is recent sales and prices, not so much assessment of other similar homes because the county simply over-assesses everyone IMO. I've seen many homes assessed in the 500k range selling for less than 450k. The true value of the home is what the market will bear, not what some moneygrubbing corrupt county says it's worth.

Recent sales matter; current asking prices do not (they often reflect "wishful thinking" ).
