What to Expect

The process begins with a free property assessment review where they analyze your current tax bill, recent sales data, and assessment history. If they identify potential savings, they'll provide a detailed strategy and fee structure. Once engaged, they handle all documentation, research comparable properties, and prepare your appeal case. They manage all deadlines, file necessary paperwork with the county, and represent you at hearings if required. Throughout the process, they keep you informed of progress and next steps. Most cases resolve within 60-90 days, and they work on a contingency basis for many appeals, meaning you pay only if they achieve tax savings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. Large assessment increases, market downturns, or property condition issues may indicate over-assessment.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal?
In Utah, you typically have 45 days from the date of your assessment notice to file an appeal. Missing this deadline eliminates your appeal rights for that tax year.
Do I have to pay my property taxes while my appeal is pending?
Yes, you must pay your property taxes by the due date even with a pending appeal. If successful, you'll receive a refund of overpaid amounts.
How much can property tax appeals typically save?
Savings vary widely based on the degree of over-assessment. Successful appeals often result in 10-30% reductions, potentially saving hundreds to thousands annually.
Will appealing my assessment affect my neighbors' taxes?
No, individual appeals don't directly affect neighboring properties. Each property is assessed and appealed independently based on its specific characteristics and circumstances.
What evidence do I need for a property tax appeal?
Key evidence includes recent comparable sales, property condition issues, appraisals, and documentation of factors that might reduce value. Professional photos and repair estimates can also help.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can appeal annually if you believe your assessment is incorrect. However, you need valid grounds and evidence to support each appeal.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals resolve within 60-120 days, depending on complexity and whether a hearing is required. Simple cases may settle faster through negotiation.
