How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services include assessment review and analysis, formal tax appeals, valuation disputes, and ongoing tax reduction consulting. We handle residential property tax protests for homeowners facing sudden assessment increases or properties valued above market rates. For commercial clients, we provide detailed property valuations, income approach analysis, and comparable sales research to support reduction requests. We also offer assessment monitoring services to track your property's assessed value year over year and identify opportunities for future appeals. Our team handles all paperwork, deadlines, and hearings on your behalf. We work closely with certified appraisers and maintain current knowledge of local market conditions to build the strongest possible cases for tax reduction.

What to Expect

The process starts with a free consultation where we review your current assessment and property details. We'll analyze recent sales data, inspect your property if needed, and determine if you have grounds for an appeal. If we proceed, we gather supporting documentation including appraisals, market analysis, and property condition reports. Next, we file your appeal within required deadlines and handle all communication with the local tax assessor's office. We'll represent you at hearings and negotiate on your behalf. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and potential outcomes.

Service Area

We serve Chatham County and surrounding coastal Georgia counties including Bryan, Effingham, and Liberty counties. Our Savannah office allows us to maintain close relationships with local assessors' offices and stay current on regional property market trends. We handle cases throughout Southeast Georgia and can assist with properties in adjacent South Carolina counties when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher than market value, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What documents do I need for a property tax appeal?
We'll need your current assessment notice, property deed, recent appraisal if available, and photos showing property condition. We can help gather additional supporting documentation.
How long does the appeals process take?
Most appeals take 3-6 months from filing to resolution. Complex commercial cases may take longer depending on the amount of analysis required.
Can I still appeal if my assessment increased but my neighbor's didn't?
Yes, unequal treatment can be grounds for an appeal. We'll analyze whether your property is assessed fairly compared to similar properties in your area.
What happens if I lose my appeal?
You typically have the right to appeal to the next level, often a county board of tax assessors or state appeals board. We'll advise you on the best course of action.
Will appealing my taxes affect my homestead exemption?
No, appealing your assessed value won't impact your homestead exemption status. These are separate issues handled by different departments.
How much can I expect to save if my appeal is successful?
Savings vary widely based on your property's over-assessment amount and local tax rates. We've seen reductions from a few hundred to several thousand dollars annually.
Do I need to be present at the hearing?
We typically handle hearings on your behalf, though your presence can sometimes be helpful. We'll discuss the best strategy for your specific case during our consultation.
