How They Can Help

We offer comprehensive property tax reduction services tailored to both residential and commercial properties. Our assessment review process includes detailed property inspections, comparable sales analysis, and market valuation studies to identify overassessments. We handle all aspects of the appeal process, from filing initial complaints to representing clients at Board of Revision hearings. For commercial properties, we provide specialized services including income approach valuations, cost approach analysis, and highest-and-best-use studies. Our residential services cover everything from single-family homes to multi-unit properties. We also offer ongoing assessment monitoring services to catch potential overvaluations before they become costly problems. Tax reduction consulting extends beyond appeals to include strategic planning for property improvements and timing considerations for major renovations that could impact assessments.

What to Expect

Your property tax reduction journey starts with a free assessment review where we analyze your current property valuation and tax history. We'll examine recent comparable sales, inspect your property if needed, and determine your potential for tax savings before you commit to our services. Once we identify reduction opportunities, we prepare and file all necessary appeals documentation with the appropriate county boards. We handle communication with assessors, gather supporting evidence, and represent you at hearings when required. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and explain each step. Most residential appeals conclude within 3-6 months, while commercial cases may take 6-12 months depending on complexity.

Service Area

We serve Delaware County and surrounding central Ohio communities including Centerburg, Delaware, Sunbury, and Powell. Our coverage extends throughout the greater Columbus metropolitan area, with particular focus on rapidly growing suburban communities where assessment errors are most common. We handle cases in multiple Ohio counties and maintain strong relationships with local assessors' offices and Board of Revision hearing officers throughout our service territory.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher than comparable sales, you may have grounds for appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Ohio?
You typically have until the end of March following the year your property was assessed. However, deadlines can vary by county, so contact us early to ensure compliance.
Do you charge upfront fees for residential appeals?
No, we work on contingency for most residential cases. You only pay if we successfully reduce your taxes, and our fee is a percentage of your first year's savings.
How long does the appeal process take?
Residential appeals typically take 3-6 months, while commercial cases may take 6-12 months. Timeline depends on case complexity and hearing schedules.
Can I appeal my assessment every year?
Yes, Ohio law allows annual appeals if you have valid grounds. However, successful appeals often provide multi-year benefits, reducing the need for frequent challenges.
What documentation do I need for an appeal?
We'll help gather necessary documentation, but having recent property tax statements, photos of property condition issues, and information about comparable sales is helpful.
Will appealing my taxes affect my neighbors?
No, individual appeals don't directly impact neighboring properties. Each property is assessed independently based on its specific characteristics and condition.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
If we work on contingency and don't achieve savings, you owe no fees. Your assessment remains unchanged, and you can potentially appeal again in future years with new evidence.
