Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Hi, I recently bought a house as well as the lot next to the house but am receiving 2 seperate tax bills. I was told I could lower the bills by combining the property but that I would need to write up a deed to do so. How do I go about writing a deed for this situation? Essentially I believe that I just need them under the same title. Not completely sure, I just know that I need both lots combined into one.

Thanks,

Nicholas Perry

It's not simply "writing up a deed." The parcels need to be merged before you would have one tax bill. I don't know that you will necessarily save any money by doing this, but you will likely need the assistance of an attorney to do this.
