For commercial clients, we handle complex properties including office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, apartments, and special-use properties like gas stations and restaurants.

We also provide property tax consulting for new developments, helping clients understand tax implications during planning phases.

What to Expect
The process begins with our proprietary assessment analysis using local sales data and assessment ratios. We'll schedule a property inspection if our analysis indicates potential for significant tax savings exceeding our minimum thresholds. After accepting your case, we prepare comprehensive appeal documentation and file with appropriate county authorities before Georgia's strict deadlines. We handle all communications with assessors, prepare evidence presentations, and represent you at hearings. You'll receive regular updates and copies of all correspondence. Most appeals resolve within 6-8 months, though complex commercial cases may take longer.
