If an appeal is warranted, he prepares detailed documentation including property appraisals, market studies, and legal briefs. The formal appeal process involves filing with the appropriate county assessment appeals board within strict deadlines. David handles all paperwork, coordinates with appraisers when necessary, and represents clients at hearings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Signs include recent comparable sales selling for less than your assessed value, property damage not reflected in assessments, or significant market downturns in your area. David can perform a free initial evaluation to determine if an appeal is worthwhile.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal?
In California, you generally have until November 30th following the assessment to file an appeal. However, certain circumstances can extend this deadline, so it's important to consult with David as soon as possible.
How much can I expect to save with a successful appeal?
Savings vary widely based on property type and over-assessment amount. Typical reductions range from 10-30% of assessed value, translating to hundreds or thousands in annual tax savings.
Do I have to attend the appeals hearing?
While property owners can attend, it's not required when you have professional representation. David handles all hearing appearances and advocacy on your behalf.
What documents do I need to provide for my appeal?
David will request specific documents as needed, typically including recent appraisals, purchase documents, repair records, and any relevant property information. He'll guide you through exactly what's needed.
Can I appeal multiple years of assessments?
You can only appeal the current year's assessment, but successful appeals often influence future assessments. David can help you understand how current appeals might impact future tax bills.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
If the appeal is unsuccessful, you owe nothing under the contingency fee arrangement. You can also request a hearing with the State Board of Equalization as a final appeal option.
How long does the appeals process typically take?
Most residential appeals are resolved within 6-8 months, while complex commercial properties may take 8-12 months. David keeps clients updated throughout the process.
