Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Compare your assessment to similar properties in your area and recent sales prices. If your assessment significantly exceeds market value or comparable properties, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Maryland?
Appeal deadlines vary by jurisdiction but are typically 45-60 days from the assessment notice date. Missing these deadlines can prevent appeals until the next assessment cycle.
How much can I expect to save on a successful appeal?
Savings vary widely based on the over-assessment amount and local tax rates. Typical successful appeals result in 10-30% assessment reductions, translating to hundreds or thousands in annual tax savings.
Do I need an attorney for a property tax appeal?
While not required, professional representation significantly improves success rates. Complex cases involving substantial amounts benefit most from experienced legal and valuation expertise.
What evidence do I need for a successful appeal?
Strong appeals require comparable sales data, property condition documentation, and market analysis. Professional appraisals and expert testimony strengthen complex cases.
Can I appeal every year if my taxes keep increasing?
You can appeal assessments each cycle if you have valid grounds. However, frivolous appeals without supporting evidence can hurt future cases.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
Failed appeals typically don't result in higher assessments, so there's minimal downside risk. You may be responsible for some filing fees and professional costs.
How long does the appeals process take?
Most appeals take 4-12 months depending on jurisdiction and case complexity. Informal reviews may resolve faster than formal hearings.
