How They Can Help

We offer complete property tax consulting services designed to maximize your savings while minimizing your involvement in the process. Our residential services include assessment analysis, comparable sales research, property inspections, and representation before local assessors and boards of review. We specialize in identifying assessment errors, challenging inflated valuations, and securing all available exemptions for qualifying property owners. For commercial properties, we provide detailed income and expense analysis, market studies, and comprehensive valuation reviews. Our team works with qualified appraisers when necessary and prepares detailed documentation supporting requested reductions. We also handle tax exemption applications for various qualifying organizations and individuals, including homestead exemptions, senior citizen discounts, and disability exemptions. Our ongoing monitoring services help identify future appeal opportunities and ensure you maintain all applicable exemptions.

What to Expect

Your engagement begins with a comprehensive consultation where we review your property tax situation, assess your assessment notices, and explain potential strategies for reduction. We analyze your property's assessment against market data and identify the strongest arguments for your specific case. Once retained, we conduct thorough research including property inspections when beneficial and detailed market analysis. We handle all aspects of the appeal process, from initial filings with local assessors through board of review proceedings if necessary. You'll receive regular updates on case progress but won't need to attend hearings or manage paperwork. We coordinate all deadlines, prepare required documentation, and negotiate on your behalf while you continue with your normal activities.

Service Area

We serve Des Plaines and surrounding northwest suburban communities including Mount Prospect, Park Ridge, Elk Grove Village, and nearby areas. Our familiarity with local assessment practices and market conditions provides distinct advantages in securing favorable outcomes. We understand the specific characteristics of different municipalities and tailor our approach to local procedures and requirements for maximum effectiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your firm different from other property tax consultants?
Our accounting background provides financial analysis expertise that many consultants lack. We also maintain established relationships with local assessors and focus on comprehensive service rather than high-volume processing.
How quickly can you start working on my property tax appeal?
We can typically begin work within a few days of your initial contact. However, timing is crucial since Illinois has strict appeal deadlines that must be met.
Do you guarantee specific results for property tax appeals?
We can't guarantee specific dollar amounts, but we only recommend appeals when we believe meaningful reductions are achievable. Our contingency fee structure demonstrates our confidence in achieving results.
Can you help with properties that have already been through one appeal?
Yes, if your initial appeal wasn't successful or achieved limited results, we may be able to advance your case to higher appeal levels or identify additional arguments.
What property tax exemptions might I qualify for?
Common exemptions include homestead exemptions for primary residences, senior citizen exemptions for qualifying older homeowners, and disability exemptions. We evaluate all potential exemptions during our initial review.
How do you determine what my property should be assessed for?
We analyze recent sales of comparable properties, evaluate market conditions, review property characteristics, and apply appropriate valuation methodologies to determine supportable assessed values.
What happens if my property tax appeal is denied?
If initial appeals are denied, we can often advance cases to higher appeal levels. We evaluate whether continued pursuit makes financial sense based on potential savings and costs involved.
Do you provide ongoing monitoring after completing an appeal?
Yes, we offer ongoing monitoring services to track future assessments and notify you of potential appeal opportunities or new exemptions you may qualify for.
