Commissioner James H. Tully, Jr. retired from State service on April 28, 2017, after having served seven years at Tax Appeals, as both President and Commissioner of the Tax Appeals Tribunal. 

Commissioner Tully’s retirement marks the end of a long and storied career in State service, in which he served as Counsel to Governor Hugh L. Carey; a Member of the State Assembly; Commissioner of the Department of Taxation and Finance; and finally, as President and Commissioner at Tax Appeals.  In addition to all of those roles, Commissioner Tully also enjoyed a successful 25+ year career in private practice; a designation as delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1967; a position as counsel to the Albany Port District Commission; a position as an adjunct Professor of Taxation at Albany Law School; and a two-year tour as a Lieutenant, Infantry, in the U.S. Army. 

We at Tax Appeals wish Commissioner Tully all the best in his retirement and thank him for his many years of dedicated service to the people of New York State.
