Huguenot is a South Shore Staten Island neighborhood. PropertyShark counts 962 residential units: 647 single-family, 306 in two-to-four family buildings, 6 condos and 3 townhouses. Joseph Ranola is a real estate broker, not a tax advisor, so a tax appeal belongs with the owner or a tax professional. Joseph Ranola is not a tax advisor.
For tax year 2026/27, the NYC Tax Commission required Class 1 applications for correction by 5 PM on March 16, 2026, and Class 2, 3 and 4 applications by March 2, 2026. Late applications are void, mailed applications are not filed until received, and fax and email are not accepted. An older DOF brochure says March 15, but March 15, 2026 was a Sunday, so the Tax Commission date controls. In-person filing is available at the Staten Island Finance Business Center, 350 St. Marks Place.
Redfin reports a Huguenot median of $929,739 for September 2026, up 20.7%, on 52 sales with a 34-day median time on market and a 98.9% sale-to-list ratio. PropertyShark reports $1,042,500 for Q2 2026, down 28.6%, on eight sales. Redfin has the far larger sample, so it is the better guide for an assessment argument.
PropertyShark lists 78 of Huguenot’s 958 residential buildings in a flood zone, about 8%, and 46 in a hurricane evacuation zone. No official source verified a link between flood zone status and assessments, so Joseph Ranola does not claim one.
A Class 1 home is assessed at 6% of market value, with increases limited to 6% a year and 20% over five years, according to NYC Department of Finance, so the appeal is usually about the market value the city assigned.
