BT Arnett Law offers comprehensive property tax appeal services starting with free assessment reviews to identify potential savings opportunities. They handle all aspects of the appeal process, from filing initial protests with the Office of Tax and Revenue to representing clients at formal hearings before the Real Property Tax Appeals Commission. Their commercial property tax services include detailed valuation analysis, income approach studies for rental properties, and cost approach evaluations for special-use buildings. For residential clients, they provide neighborhood comparable analysis, assessment accuracy reviews, and exemption application assistance for seniors and disabled homeowners. The firm also handles assessment appeals for condominiums, cooperatives, and mixed-use properties throughout DC. They maintain detailed databases of recent sales and assessment patterns to strengthen appeal arguments and ensure clients receive fair property valuations.

The process begins with a free consultation where they review your current assessment and recent comparable sales. If they identify potential savings, you'll receive a detailed analysis explaining the basis for your appeal and projected tax reduction. Once you decide to proceed, they'll prepare and file all necessary paperwork with the appropriate DC tax authorities. Throughout the appeal process, they handle all communications and represent you at hearings if required. Most appeals are resolved within 90-180 days, and you'll receive regular updates on your case status. If successful, your reduced assessment typically applies to the current tax year and future years until the next reassessment cycle.
