How They Can Help

Ace Plus Tax Resolution covers the full range of property tax services that LA County owners need. Their core work is assessment appeals, where they review your current assessed value, compare it against recent comparable sales, and build a formal case for the county's Assessment Appeals Board. They handle both Proposition 8 temporary reductions and base-year value challenges. Beyond appeals, they offer assessment review consultations where they dig into your current tax bill to spot errors, exemptions you haven't claimed, and opportunities to reduce your liability before an appeal is even necessary. They work with homeowners, landlords, and commercial property owners across retail, office, industrial, and multifamily asset classes. For clients who've recently purchased property, they provide closing assessment analysis to make sure you weren't incorrectly reassessed at sale. They also assist with calamity reassessments for properties damaged by fire, flood, or other disasters, which is especially relevant given recent wildfire seasons in the LA region. All services are backed by a contingency fee structure for appeal work, so you pay only when they win.

What to Expect

The process starts with a free assessment review. You share your current tax bill and property details, and they run a preliminary analysis against recent sales data to gauge whether an appeal is worth pursuing. If the numbers look promising, they move into full case preparation. Case preparation involves pulling comparable sales, reviewing the assessor's property record for errors, and drafting a formal appeal application. They file everything on your behalf with the LA County Assessment Appeals Board and handle all correspondence with the assessor's office during the informal review phase. Many cases settle informally before a formal hearing. When they don't, Ace Plus represents you at the board hearing, presenting the evidence and handling questions from the board. After a decision, they walk you through how and when your revised tax bill will arrive and help you understand your options if you want to appeal further.

Service Area

Ace Plus Tax Resolution serves property owners throughout Los Angeles County, including the City of Los Angeles, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Culver City, Santa Monica, Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, Long Beach, Torrance, and the San Fernando Valley communities. They also take cases in surrounding counties on a case-by-case basis, particularly for commercial clients with multi-county portfolios.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
The simplest check is comparing your assessed value to recent sale prices of similar properties in your area. If your assessed value is notably higher than what comparable homes have sold for, you likely have a case. Ace Plus offers a free preliminary review to help you make that determination.
What's the deadline to file an appeal in LA County?
For most residential properties, you have until November 30 of the tax year to file a Proposition 8 decline-in-value application. Formal assessment appeals typically must be filed within 60 days of receiving your notice of assessed value. Missing these deadlines forfeits your right to appeal for that year.
Will filing an appeal cause my assessment to go up?
It's a valid concern. In California, the assessor can theoretically present evidence for a higher value during an appeal if the market data supports it. Ace Plus evaluates this risk during their initial review and will flag it if your property appears underassessed relative to current sales.
How much can I expect to save if the appeal is successful?
It varies widely based on how far off the current assessment is. Savings of $500 to $3,000 per year are common for residential appeals, while commercial properties can see much larger reductions. They'll give you a realistic estimate during the consultation based on the comparable sales data.
Do I need to attend the hearing?
Not necessarily. Ace Plus handles hearing appearances on your behalf. You'll want to be available by phone in case questions come up that require your input, but most clients aren't present at the formal board hearing.
What documents should I gather before contacting you?
Your most recent Notice of Assessed Value from the LA County Assessor and your current property tax bill are the two most important documents. Any recent appraisals, purchase contracts, or renovation permits are also helpful but not required to get started.
Can you appeal a commercial property assessment?
Yes. Commercial appeals are a core part of their practice. The analysis is more complex because it incorporates income and expense data alongside sales comparables, but the process and contingency fee structure are the same as for residential work.
What happens after a successful appeal?
The county will issue a corrected tax bill reflecting the lower assessed value. If you've already paid taxes based on the higher amount, you'll receive a refund for the overpayment. The reduced base value also applies going forward, subject to Proposition 13's annual adjustment cap.
