It`s an unfair system, ... You can go to one particular block in Long Island, for example, where 11 houses got a tax reduction last year because they filed grievances. The remaining 4 homeowners who didn`t file a grievance are still overpaying. In most municipalities, if you don`t file it means you accept the assessment value of your home.
