How They Can Help

Asbury Law Firm provides comprehensive property tax reduction services including residential assessment appeals for homeowners facing inflated property valuations. They handle commercial property tax protests for office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, and multi-family complexes. The firm conducts detailed valuation analysis comparing your property to similar sales and rental data. Their assessment review service identifies errors in square footage, property characteristics, or comparable sales used by county assessors. They prepare and file all necessary paperwork for tax appeals, represent clients at hearings, and negotiate directly with tax officials. The firm also offers ongoing property tax monitoring to catch assessment increases early and proactive consultation for new construction or major renovations that might trigger reassessment.

What to Expect

The process begins with a free consultation where they review your property tax statement and recent assessment notice. They'll analyze your property's assessed value against comparable sales and current market conditions. If they identify potential savings, you'll sign a contingency agreement where fees are only paid if they reduce your taxes. Next, they gather supporting documentation including property records, comparable sales data, and any relevant market information. They prepare and file your appeal within required deadlines, then represent you throughout the process including any hearings or negotiations with county officials.

They also handle cases in Fulton, Gwinnett, and Clayton counties for existing clients. Their familiarity with local assessment practices and county-specific procedures gives clients a significant advantage in the appeals process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can you typically save on property taxes?
Savings vary widely but we often achieve 10-30% reductions in assessed value. For a $300,000 home, this could mean $200-$600 in annual tax savings.
What if my appeal is unsuccessful?
On our contingency cases, you owe nothing if we don't reduce your taxes. We only accept cases where we believe success is likely.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most residential appeals are resolved within 3-6 months. Commercial cases can take 4-8 months depending on complexity and hearing schedules.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Georgia law allows appeals whenever you receive an assessment notice showing increased value. However, successful appeals typically require new evidence or changed circumstances.
Do I need to attend hearings or meetings?
We handle all aspects of your appeal including hearings. Your presence is rarely required unless specifically requested by the county.
What documents do you need to start my case?
We'll need your recent property tax statements, assessment notices, and any relevant property information. We can gather most documentation ourselves.
Are your services tax-deductible?
Property tax consultation fees are often deductible as investment or business expenses. Consult your tax preparer for specific guidance.
What happens to my taxes while the appeal is pending?
You must continue paying taxes as assessed. If we win your appeal, you'll receive a refund for any overpayment from the current tax year.
