Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle appeals for all types of properties?
The firm focuses on higher-value residential properties and commercial real estate where substantial tax savings justify comprehensive legal representation. They typically don't handle routine residential appeals under $50,000 in assessed value.
What makes Miami property tax appeals different?
Miami's luxury market, international ownership, and unique property types create valuation challenges requiring specialized expertise. Waterfront properties, luxury condos, and commercial properties often have assessment issues not found in other markets.
Can you help with properties in multiple counties?
While the firm focuses on Miami-Dade County, they can coordinate appeals in other South Florida counties or refer clients to qualified attorneys in other jurisdictions when appropriate.
What if my property is involved in litigation?
Properties involved in litigation present unique valuation challenges that the firm handles regularly. Legal disputes, environmental issues, or construction problems can significantly impact assessed value and appeal strategies.
Do you use expert witnesses in appeals?
For complex commercial properties or high-value residential appeals, the firm often retains appraisal experts, engineers, or other specialists to support the case with professional testimony and analysis.
How do you handle condominium appeals?
Condo appeals require analysis of building-specific factors, amenities, and comparable sales within similar developments. The firm has extensive experience with luxury condominium appeals throughout Miami-Dade County.
What if the property appraiser's office makes an error?
Assessment errors involving incorrect property data, misapplied exemptions, or classification mistakes can often be corrected through informal processes before formal appeals become necessary.
