How They Can Help

We provide comprehensive property tax consulting services starting with free assessment reviews to identify potential appeal opportunities. Our residential services include homestead exemption applications, assessment appeals for single-family homes and condominiums, and special circumstance evaluations for properties affected by damage or market changes. For commercial clients, we offer detailed income and expense analysis, comparable sales research, and formal Value Adjustment Board representation. We also handle ongoing tax planning services, helping property owners understand how improvements, zoning changes, or property transfers might affect their future tax obligations. Our exemption services extend beyond homestead to include senior, disability, veteran, and widow exemptions that can provide substantial ongoing savings.

What to Expect

We start with a comprehensive review of your property records and recent assessment history to identify patterns or errors that suggest overvaluation. During our initial consultation, we'll examine your property's characteristics against recent comparable sales and discuss realistic expectations for potential savings. If we proceed with an appeal, we gather supporting documentation including property inspections, market analyses, and expert opinions when needed. We handle all filing requirements and represent you throughout the hearing process, presenting evidence in the most compelling format for board review. Our process typically includes multiple strategy sessions to ensure you understand each step and approve our approach.

Service Area

Our primary service area includes Doral, Miami-Dade County, and western Broward County communities. We're particularly familiar with assessment practices in rapidly developing areas where new construction creates valuation challenges for existing properties. We also serve clients in Kendall, Hialeah, Aventura, and other municipalities where we have established relationships with local assessment staff and hearing officers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a property tax assessment appealable?
Assessments can be challenged if they exceed market value, contain factual errors, or fail to account for property-specific issues affecting value. We look for assessments that are 10% or more above comparable sales data.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you have the right to appeal your assessment annually if you believe it's incorrect. However, repeated appeals without strong evidence may face increased scrutiny from assessment boards.
What exemptions might I be missing on my property taxes?
Many property owners don't claim all available exemptions. These can include homestead, senior citizen, disability, veteran, and widow exemptions that provide ongoing tax savings.
How do you determine if my assessment is worth appealing?
We analyze recent comparable sales, assess your property's condition, and review assessment methodology. If we find evidence supporting a lower value, we'll recommend proceeding with an appeal.
Will my taxes definitely go down if you take my case?
While we only accept cases with strong potential for reduction, outcomes depend on evidence quality and board decisions. Our contingency fee structure means you only pay if we achieve savings.
What happens if the assessment board increases my value?
Boards rarely increase assessments during appeals, but it's possible if they find your current assessment is below market value. We carefully evaluate this risk before recommending appeals.
How much documentation do I need for an appeal?
We handle most documentation gathering, but property records, improvement receipts, and information about property issues help strengthen your case. More evidence generally leads to better outcomes.
Can you help if I'm behind on my property taxes?
Yes, we can assist with appeals even if you have outstanding tax balances. Successful appeals reduce the total amount owed and can make payment plans more manageable.
