Contesting Tax Assessment?

Hello. I recently received a notice for increase in property taxes. The economy being what it is, this did not come as a surprise. Although it is rather large–triple the current taxes.

On the NYC Dept of Finance website, there is information for filing a protest with the NYC Tax Commission, “if you believe that your assessed value is wrong.” Does anyone have any experience with this? I feel like it’s worth a try, but never having done this, I wonder if there’s a potential for an even higher assessment.

Anyone have any experience with this? Your advice is greatly appreciated!
