The process begins with a detailed consultation where Chun Kerr reviews your property's assessment history, recent sales data, and any unique characteristics that might affect valuation. They conduct their own market research and property analysis to determine appeal prospects and potential tax savings. Once engaged, they handle all aspects of the appeal process including document preparation, evidence gathering, and representation at hearings when necessary. Their systematic approach includes regular client updates and clear explanations of each step in the process. Most cases conclude within 4-8 months, depending on complexity and whether hearings are required. Successful appeals result in immediate tax reduction and often establish favorable precedents for future assessments.
