    Ep #32: Understanding Property Taxes with Rich O’Donnell

    Ep #32: Understanding Property Taxes with Rich O’Donnell

    When a buyer starts their home search, they always look at the property taxes. If the taxes are too high, they will eliminate that house from their search, so it’s fair to say that property taxes are a vital component in the decision to purchase a property.
     
    I’m joined by Rich O’Donnell, my go-to property tax expert. Rich is a retired tax assessor with 28 years of local government service in Westchester, making him the best person to help clients navigate the tax appeals process. Rich shares an overview of the process for a tax grievance to reduce an assessment, as well as his advice for working through this process.
