How They Can Help

We provide comprehensive property tax appeal services across all property types. Our residential services include homestead exemption applications, assessment protests, and appeals to the Board of Tax Appeals. For commercial clients, we handle complex valuation disputes, income approach challenges, and multi-property portfolio reviews. Our assessment review process includes detailed property inspections, comparable sales analysis, and market condition evaluations. We challenge assessments based on overvaluation, incorrect property characteristics, or inequitable treatment compared to similar properties. We also assist with filing deadlines, documentation requirements, and representation at formal hearings. Additional services include tax exemption applications for qualifying properties, guidance on property improvements that might affect assessments, and ongoing monitoring of annual assessment changes. We work on contingency for most appeals, meaning you pay only when we achieve savings.

What to Expect

Start with a free consultation where we review your property tax statement and recent assessment. We'll explain the appeal timeline and evaluate your chances of success. If we take your case, we'll conduct a thorough property analysis, including on-site inspections and market research. We handle all paperwork and filing requirements, meeting Georgia's strict deadlines. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and strategy. If your case goes to a formal hearing, we'll represent you before the county board or state appeals board. Most cases resolve through negotiation, but we're prepared to present evidence at trial if needed.

Service Area

We serve all of metro Atlanta, including Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, and Clayton counties. Our team knows each county's assessment practices and appeal procedures. We also handle cases in surrounding counties like Cherokee, Forsyth, and Henry. Our local focus means we understand neighborhood market conditions, recent sales trends, and county-specific assessment practices that affect your property's valuation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher than comparable sales, you may have grounds for appeal.
What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals in Georgia?
You have 45 days from the date you receive your assessment notice to file an appeal. Missing this deadline means waiting until next year.
Will appealing my assessment trigger an audit or investigation?
No, filing an appeal is your legal right and won't trigger additional scrutiny. Counties expect and process thousands of appeals annually.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely, but successful appeals typically reduce assessments by 10-30%. Some cases achieve larger reductions depending on the evidence.
Do you guarantee results?
We can't guarantee specific outcomes, but we only take cases we believe have good chances of success. Our contingency structure means we're motivated to achieve results.
Can I appeal if I recently bought my property?
Yes, if the assessed value exceeds your purchase price significantly. Recent sales data is often the strongest evidence in appeals.
What documents do I need to bring for consultation?
Bring your current tax statement, recent appraisal if available, and records of any property improvements or damage. We'll handle gathering additional documentation.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals resolve within 3-6 months. Complex commercial cases or those requiring formal hearings may take longer.
