Your appeal begins with a comprehensive property evaluation where they review your tax notice, property records, and recent area sales. They'll schedule a property inspection to document conditions that might affect value and verify assessment accuracy. If they identify grounds for appeal, they'll prepare formal documentation including market analysis, property reports, and comparable sales studies. The firm handles all paperwork and deadlines, then represents you throughout the appeal process. They negotiate with assessors first, seeking informal resolution. If necessary, they'll represent you at formal hearings with expert testimony and evidence presentation. Most cases conclude within 4-6 months.
