How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services cover every aspect of assessment disputes and tax reduction strategies. We handle formal appeals before county assessment appeals boards, representing clients through the entire administrative process from initial filing through final hearings. Our assessment review services include detailed property valuations, comparable sales analysis, and identification of assessment errors or inequities. We also provide ongoing tax reduction consulting, helping clients understand their rights and develop long-term strategies for managing property tax obligations. For commercial properties, we offer specialized services including personal property assessments, business equipment valuations, and complex income approach analyses. Our legal team also handles tax-related litigation when administrative remedies prove insufficient, pursuing cases through superior court when necessary to achieve fair assessments.

What to Expect

Our process begins with a comprehensive assessment review, analyzing your property's current valuation against market data and comparable properties. We identify potential grounds for appeal, including assessment errors, market value disputes, or procedural violations. If we determine you're likely overpaying, we'll file a formal appeal and gather supporting evidence including professional appraisals, market analyses, and property condition reports. Throughout the appeals process, we handle all communications with county officials and represent you at hearings, presenting compelling evidence for tax reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Signs include recent comparable sales being lower than your assessed value, assessment increases that exceed market trends, or errors in property characteristics. We provide free initial consultations to evaluate your situation.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal?
In California, you generally have until November 30th following the lien date (January 1st) to file an assessment appeal. Some exceptions apply for properties that change ownership or undergo new construction.
How much can you typically reduce my property taxes?
Results vary significantly based on individual circumstances. We've achieved reductions ranging from 5% to 50% of assessed value, with average reductions of 15-25% for successful appeals.
Do you charge upfront fees for assessment appeals?
Most appeals are handled on contingency, meaning no upfront costs. You only pay if we successfully reduce your assessment, typically 30-50% of the first year's tax savings.
What evidence do you use to support appeals?
We use professional appraisals, comparable sales analyses, property condition reports, income and expense data for commercial properties, and expert testimony. The specific evidence depends on your property type and circumstances.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you have the right to appeal annually if you believe your assessment exceeds fair market value. However, successful appeals require valid grounds and supporting evidence.
How long does the appeals process take?
Most county appeals are resolved within 3-6 months. Complex cases or those requiring litigation may take longer, sometimes up to 18 months for court proceedings.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
If unsuccessful at the county level, we can pursue litigation in superior court. On contingency cases, you owe no fees for unsuccessful appeals, though you remain responsible for costs like appraisals.
