Frequently Asked Questions

When should I consider appealing my property tax assessment?
Consider an appeal if your assessment increased significantly more than similar properties, if you believe your assessed value exceeds current market value, or if your property has issues affecting value that aren't reflected in the assessment.
What's the difference between county board appeals and superior court appeals?
County board appeals are administrative proceedings that are less formal and typically faster. Superior court appeals are formal litigation that may be necessary if county boards don't provide adequate relief.
How do you determine if my case is worth pursuing?
We analyze your assessment compared to recent sales data, property condition, and local market trends. If we believe there's potential for meaningful reduction, we'll recommend proceeding with the appeal.
Can you appeal assessments for rental properties?
Yes, we handle appeals for all types of residential and commercial rental properties. Investment properties are often good candidates for appeals due to income and expense factors that affect value.
What happens if the county doesn't respond to our appeal?
Counties are required to respond to properly filed appeals within specific timeframes. If they don't respond appropriately, we can pursue legal remedies to ensure your appeal receives proper consideration.
How often can I appeal my property assessment?
You can file a new appeal each time you receive a new assessment that you believe is excessive. However, repeated appeals for the same property require strong justification for each filing.
Do you handle tax exemption applications?
Yes, we assist with homestead exemptions, senior citizen exemptions, and other programs that can reduce property tax liability. These often provide ongoing benefits beyond one-time appeal savings.
What evidence do I need for a successful appeal?
Strong evidence includes recent comparable sales, professional appraisals, property condition documentation, and financial records for income-producing properties. We help clients gather and present this evidence effectively.
