Frequently Asked Questions

How does your multidisciplinary approach benefit property tax clients?
Our estate planning and business law background helps us understand how property tax issues intersect with your broader legal and financial situation. This often reveals planning opportunities that pure tax consultants might miss.
What makes suburban property tax appeals different from urban ones?
Suburban markets often have more comparable sales data but can also have greater variation in property values within small areas. Understanding local market dynamics and assessor practices is crucial for effective appeals.
Do you handle both residential and commercial properties?
Yes, we work with both residential homeowners and commercial property owners. Our approach varies based on property type, but the fundamental appeal process and attention to detail remain consistent.
What's your success rate for property tax appeals?
Success rates vary by jurisdiction and property type, but we typically achieve some level of reduction for 70-80% of cases we accept. We only pursue appeals where we see legitimate grounds for reductions.
How do you determine if my property is worth appealing?
We analyze your assessment against recent comparable sales, current market conditions, and property characteristics. If the assessed value significantly exceeds market value, an appeal is typically worthwhile.
What happens if the assessor disagrees with our appeal?
If the initial appeal is denied, we can often pursue additional levels of appeal through county boards or state agencies. We'll explain all available options and recommend the best strategy.
Can you help with properties I'm considering purchasing?
Yes, we provide pre-purchase property tax consulting to help you understand potential tax obligations and appeal opportunities before closing on new properties.
How far in advance should I contact you about potential appeals?
Contact us as soon as you receive assessment notices or suspect your property may be over-assessed. Appeal deadlines are strict, typically 30-60 days, so early action provides the most options.
