How They Can Help

For commercial properties, they provide specialized services including income and expense analysis, highest and best use studies, and complex valuation modeling. Residential clients benefit from homestead exemption reviews, agricultural classification assistance, and senior citizen discount applications.

They'll analyze comparable sales data and identify potential grounds for appeal within the first week.

Throughout the process, you'll receive regular updates on case progress and strategy adjustments. The firm handles all communication with county officials and represents you at Value Adjustment Board hearings. Most residential cases resolve within 3-4 months, while complex commercial appeals may take 6-8 months to complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can you typically reduce my property taxes?
Successful appeals usually result in 15-30% reductions in assessed value, translating to similar tax savings. The actual amount depends on your property's specific circumstances and local market conditions.
What if my property value has actually increased?
Even in rising markets, assessments can exceed fair market value due to outdated comparable sales or incorrect property characteristics. We analyze whether your assessment reflects true current value.
How long do I have to file an appeal?
Florida requires appeals within 25 days of receiving your TRIM notice, typically mailed in August. Missing this deadline means waiting until the following year to challenge your assessment.
Do I need to attend the hearing personally?
No, our attorneys represent you at all hearings and handle communication with county officials. You may choose to attend, but it's not required for most cases.
What documents do you need from me?
We need your property tax notice, recent sale documents if applicable, and any improvement records. We handle gathering comparable sales data and other supporting evidence.
Can you help with commercial properties?
Yes, we specialize in complex commercial appeals including office buildings, retail centers, and industrial properties. These cases often involve detailed income and expense analysis.
What happens if the appeal is unsuccessful?
On contingency cases, you owe no attorney fees if we don't achieve a reduction. You can also appeal unfavorable decisions to circuit court within 30 days.
Do you handle properties outside Miami-Dade County?
We focus primarily on Miami-Dade County but can handle cases in Broward and Palm Beach counties. Each county has different procedures and deadlines we navigate appropriately.
