How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services include residential assessment appeals for homeowners dealing with inflated valuations after renovations, market downturns, or reassessment cycles. We handle commercial property tax protests for office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, and multi-family properties. Our valuation analysis service provides detailed market comparisons and income approach calculations to support your appeal. We also offer assessment review consultations where we examine your current tax bill and property records to identify potential savings opportunities. For commercial clients, we provide ongoing tax monitoring services to catch assessment increases early. Our legal team handles all aspects of the appeals process, from initial filing through board hearings and potential court proceedings. We work with certified appraisers and market analysts to ensure your case has the strongest possible foundation.

What to Expect

Your property tax appeal begins with a free consultation where we review your assessment notice and property details. We'll analyze comparable sales, income data, and market conditions to determine if an appeal makes financial sense. If we proceed, we gather supporting documentation including appraisals, financial records, and market data. Our legal team prepares and files all necessary paperwork with the appropriate tax authority. We handle scheduling, attend hearings on your behalf, and present your case professionally. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and strategy adjustments. Most cases resolve at the administrative level, but we're prepared to pursue court action if necessary.

Service Area

We serve property owners throughout the greater Atlanta metropolitan area, including Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, and Clayton counties. Our team is familiar with the specific procedures and personnel at each county's tax assessor's office and board of equalization. We also handle appeals in surrounding counties like Cherokee, Forsyth, and Henry where our clients own investment properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property assessment is too high?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment seems significantly higher than what comparable properties sold for, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal?
In Georgia, you typically have 45 days from the date you receive your assessment notice to file an appeal. Missing this deadline means you'll have to wait until the next assessment cycle.
How much can you typically reduce my property taxes?
Reductions vary widely depending on the property and evidence available. We've achieved reductions ranging from 10% to 50% of assessed value, with typical savings being 15-25%.
Do I have to attend the hearing myself?
No, our attorneys represent you at all hearings. However, you're welcome to attend if you wish to observe the process.
What if my appeal is unsuccessful?
With our contingency fee structure, you owe nothing if we don't achieve savings. We can also discuss whether appealing to the next level or waiting for the next assessment cycle makes sense.
Can you appeal my property taxes every year?
You can file an appeal each time you receive a new assessment notice, but we only recommend appeals when there's a reasonable chance of success based on market evidence.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals resolve within 3-6 months, though complex commercial cases may take up to a year. We'll provide timeline estimates specific to your situation.
What documents do you need to start my appeal?
We need your current assessment notice, deed, recent appraisals if available, and any documentation of property issues. We'll help gather additional supporting evidence as needed.
