Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a property tax assessment appealable?
Assessments that exceed market value, contain factual errors, or don't account for property conditions can be successfully appealed. Recent comparable sales significantly below your assessment often indicate appeal potential.
How quickly can I expect results from my appeal?
Most appeals take 4-8 months to complete, depending on county procedures and case complexity. Some cases may resolve more quickly through negotiation with assessors.
Can appealing my taxes result in an increase?
While legally possible, it's extremely rare for assessments to increase during appeals. Most jurisdictions focus on the issues raised rather than conducting full reassessments.
What's the difference between assessed value and market value?
Indiana requires assessed values to reflect true tax value, which should approximate market value. When assessments exceed what your property would sell for, appeals are often successful.
Do I need professional help to appeal my property taxes?
While property owners can file appeals themselves, professional representation significantly improves success rates. The firm's expertise in valuation and procedure provides substantial advantages.
How often should I review my property assessment?
Annual reviews are recommended, especially after reassessment years or significant market changes. Regular monitoring helps identify appeal opportunities early.
What evidence is most important for property tax appeals?
Recent comparable sales, property condition issues, and market data showing declining values are typically most persuasive. Professional appraisals also carry significant weight.
Can I appeal if I recently bought the property?
Yes, purchase price can be strong evidence if it's significantly below the assessed value. However, assessors may consider various factors beyond recent sale price.
