Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property assessment is too high?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your neighborhood. If your assessment exceeds comparable sales by a significant margin, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the success rate for property tax appeals in DC?
Success rates vary depending on the strength of the case and quality of representation. Professional representation typically achieves better results than self-representation.
Can I appeal my property taxes if I recently bought the property?
Yes, you can appeal regardless of when you purchased the property. Recent purchase price can actually be valuable evidence in some appeal cases.
What happens during a property tax appeal hearing?
Hearings involve presenting evidence about your property's value to an appeals board. Professional representatives handle the presentation while you typically observe unless your testimony is needed.
How much documentation do I need to provide?
Basic property information is usually sufficient to start. The consulting team will gather most technical documentation needed to support your appeal.
Can I appeal multiple years at once?
Generally, you must appeal each tax year separately within specific deadlines. However, patterns of overassessment can sometimes be addressed strategically.
What if my appeal is denied?
With contingency fee arrangements, you typically owe nothing if unsuccessful. There may also be options for appeals to higher levels depending on your case circumstances.
Do you handle properties outside Washington, DC?
Their primary focus is DC properties, though they may be able to provide guidance or referrals for properties in surrounding jurisdictions.
