How They Can Help

Our property tax services cover the complete appeal process from initial assessment review to formal hearings. We start with comprehensive property evaluations, analyzing your assessment against comparable properties and current market values. For residential properties, we examine square footage, condition, neighborhood sales data, and any factors that might reduce value. Commercial property analysis includes income potential, vacancy rates, and property-specific challenges. We handle all paperwork and deadlines for Michigan Tax Tribunal appeals, Board of Review hearings, and assessment protests. Our legal team prepares detailed evidence packages including appraisals, market studies, and legal arguments. We represent you at hearings, presenting your case professionally while you focus on your daily responsibilities. Post-appeal, we monitor your property's future assessments and advise on ongoing tax planning strategies.

What to Expect

Your case begins with a free consultation where we review your property assessment and recent tax bills. If we identify potential savings, we'll explain the appeal process and timeline. We then gather necessary documentation including property records, recent sales data, and any relevant market information. Next, we file your appeal within Michigan's strict deadlines and prepare your case presentation. This includes coordinating any required appraisals and assembling supporting evidence. We represent you at all hearings, handling questions and presenting arguments. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and next steps. After resolution, we provide documentation of any tax reduction achieved.

Service Area

We serve clients throughout Oakland County and surrounding areas in Southeast Michigan. Our Farmington Hills location provides convenient access for clients in Birmingham, Troy, Royal Oak, and Bloomfield Hills. We also handle cases in Wayne and Macomb counties, with particular experience in Detroit-area commercial properties and suburban residential appeals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely based on your property's current assessment and market conditions. We've achieved reductions ranging from 10% to 50% of assessed value, translating to hundreds or thousands in annual tax savings.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Michigan?
Appeals must generally be filed by July 31st following the tax year, though some circumstances allow later filing. We recommend starting the process as soon as you receive your assessment notice.
Do I have to pay anything upfront?
Most cases are handled on contingency, meaning no upfront payment. You pay our fee only if we successfully reduce your taxes, typically 25-40% of the first year's savings.
Can you appeal commercial property taxes?
Yes, we handle commercial appeals including office buildings, retail properties, industrial facilities, and investment properties. Commercial cases often involve more complex valuation issues but can yield substantial savings.
What happens if my appeal is denied?
If denied at the local Board of Review level, we can appeal to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. This formal process allows for more detailed evidence presentation and legal arguments.
How long does the appeal process take?
Board of Review appeals typically take 2-4 months, while Tax Tribunal cases can take 8-18 months. The timeline depends on case complexity and hearing schedules.
Will appealing my taxes affect my homeowner's insurance or mortgage?
No, property tax appeals don't affect insurance coverage or mortgage terms. Successful appeals actually reduce your total housing costs through lower tax bills.
What evidence do you need for my appeal?
We typically need recent tax bills, property records, and information about the property's condition. We handle gathering comparable sales data and other supporting evidence for your case.
