The Town of Cheektowaga will be mailing out updated property assessments in March 2026, assigning what officials believe to be the fair market value of your home or property. If your new assessment is too high, you could end up paying unnecessarily high property taxes. The attorneys at Duffy & Catlin are dedicated to helping Cheektowaga property owners like you challenge unfair assessments before the May 2026 deadline—and we bill only on a contingency basis, meaning you only pay a percentage of the tax savings we achieve.

Duffy & Catlin is a boutique law firm that focuses exclusively on property tax assessment challenges. With an in-depth understanding of New York State laws, we provide one-on-one attention, thorough reviews of your assessment, and an efficient legal strategy for achieving the lowest defensible assessed value.
Contingency Fee Advantage: We only get paid when you save on your taxes. Our fee is a percentage of the successful reduction, so there’s no upfront cost or risk to you.
