What to Expect
We start with a comprehensive property evaluation and tax history analysis during your free consultation. If we identify potential for savings, we'll conduct detailed market research and prepare a professional appraisal report supporting your case. Our team files all necessary paperwork with Miami-Dade County and handles correspondence with assessors and hearing officers. We prepare you for any required testimony and represent your interests throughout the process. Most appeals resolve through negotiation, but we're prepared to take cases to formal hearings when necessary. You'll receive regular updates and copies of all documentation.
