How They Can Help

Our property tax appeal services cover comprehensive assessment reviews, formal protest filings, and administrative hearings representation. We handle everything from single-family homes to large commercial developments, including office buildings, retail centers, and industrial facilities. Our valuation analysis team reviews comparable sales, income approaches, and cost methodologies to identify assessment errors. We also provide ongoing tax strategy consulting for property investors and commercial owners. This includes annual assessment monitoring, exemption application assistance, and multi-year tax planning. For new construction projects, we offer pre-completion consulting to ensure proper initial assessments. Our commercial services extend to specialized property types like hotels, restaurants, and mixed-use developments where standard valuation methods often miss the mark.

What to Expect

Your property tax appeal starts with a comprehensive assessment review where we analyze your current valuation against market data and comparable properties. We'll schedule an initial consultation to discuss your property's specific circumstances and review recent assessment changes. Once we identify grounds for appeal, we prepare detailed documentation including market analysis, property condition reports, and comparable sales data. We handle all filing requirements and deadlines, then represent you through the administrative hearing process. Throughout the appeal, we keep you informed of progress and strategy adjustments. Most cases resolve within 3-6 months depending on complexity and hearing schedules.

Service Area

We serve all of Miami-Dade County, with particular expertise in Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Key Biscayne, and downtown Miami markets. Our team knows the assessment patterns and hearing procedures specific to each municipality within the county. We also handle select cases in Broward County for existing clients with multi-county property portfolios.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Successful appeals typically result in 10-35% reductions in assessed value. However, the actual tax savings depend on your local tax rates and the specific reduction achieved.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
If the initial appeal fails, we can often pursue additional options including Value Adjustment Board hearings or circuit court appeals. There's no additional fee if we don't achieve results on contingency cases.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals take 3-6 months from filing to resolution. Complex commercial cases or those requiring multiple hearings may take longer.
Can I appeal my taxes if I bought the property recently?
Yes, recent purchases can actually strengthen appeal cases if you paid less than the assessed value. We use your purchase price as evidence in the appeal.
What documents do I need for an appeal?
We'll need recent tax bills, property deeds, any recent appraisals, and details about property condition or unique features. We'll help you gather additional documentation as needed.
Are there deadlines for filing appeals?
Yes, appeals must typically be filed within 25 days of receiving your Notice of Proposed Property Taxes. Missing this deadline doesn't eliminate all options, but it limits them.
Do you handle appeals for condominiums?
Absolutely. Condo appeals can be particularly effective since individual unit assessments often don't reflect market conditions or building-specific issues affecting values.
What if my property has unique characteristics affecting its value?
Properties with special circumstances like environmental issues, deed restrictions, or structural problems often have strong appeal potential since assessors may not account for these factors properly.
