I've done it twice over the years, successfully both times. Do your homework before you go in, have proof that shows why you believe your taxes are too high, ie: your new taxes are the same as people with much bigger lots or houses in your area, so you should be paying less than them.

Go to your town tax department and look at comparables. Get copies of whatever you can find to bolster your claim from the staff and bring it with you to grievance. Good luck!
