Taxes can be significantly reduced! As per Richard O’Donnel, tax grievance expert, assuming this property sold at the current list price of $7, 399, 000, that would potentially reduce the gross taxes by 25.8%, reducing them from $199, 320 to approximately $147, 842 or a savings of $51, 478. This is a rough estimate as these numbers will change slightly when the Residential Assessment Ratio(RAR) is issued in April.
