​
A property tax grievance is a formal complaint against your town’s assessed value. Your property tax won’t drop automatically—you must file a grievance to lower it. Without filing, you could be paying thousands more than your neighbors for a similar home.
At Rock Tax, we work diligently, conducting in-depth research and using the most up-to-date data to challenge inflated assessments. We compare similar homes in your neighborhood and consider every factor that may affect your property’s value—ensuring you never pay more than you should.

My house is almost the same as my neighbor's,
yet I'm paying much more in property tax ...
Why ?
1. Assessment stays the same
If you don’t file a grievance, your property’s assessed value remains as-is. Even if your market value is fair, your neighbor who files can get theirs reduced.
​
2. Total tax levy must be collected
Each school district, town, and county sets a total budget (called the tax levy). That full amount mustbe collected from all homeowners in the district—no matter what.
​
3. Why non-filers pay more
• When some homeowners successfully lower their assessments, their share of the tax levy goes down.
• The levy itself doesn’t shrink—so the remaining taxpayers (those who didn’t file, or who were denied) absorb the difference.
• Result: Two homes with the same assessment may pay different amounts of taxdepending on whether one owner filed a grievance.​​
✅ Example:
​
• Tax levy (school district): $10,000,000 total to be collected.
• 1,000 homes in district, each assessed at 500 → each homeowner pays $10,000.
• Now, 200 homeowners file and lower assessments by 20%. Their bills drop to $8,000 each.
• That’s a $400,000 gap the district still needs to collect.
• The other 800 homeowners (who didn’t file) make up that shortfall → their bills rise to $10,500 even though their assessments never changed.​​
​✅ Bottom line:
​
• Grieved homeowners → pay less, long term.
• Non-grieved homeowners → often blindsided,
because their assessment stayed the same, but their taxes spiked to cover neighbors’ reductions.
