How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services include formal appeals to county assessment boards, informal review requests, and complete valuation challenges. We handle residential property tax protests for single-family homes, condos, and investment properties. For commercial clients, we manage complex appeals for office buildings, retail spaces, industrial facilities, and multi-unit properties. We provide detailed market analysis comparing your property to similar sales and current market conditions. Our team prepares all necessary documentation, represents you at hearings, and negotiates directly with assessment officials. We also offer preventive assessment reviews to catch potential overvaluations before they become costly problems. Our valuation analysis services include property inspections, comparable sales research, and income approach calculations for commercial properties.

What to Expect

Your case begins with a comprehensive property evaluation where we review your current assessment, recent sales data, and property conditions. We'll explain your appeal options and estimated chances of success during this initial consultation. Once you decide to proceed, we gather all necessary documentation including property records, comparable sales, and supporting evidence. We prepare your formal appeal and represent you throughout the process, from filing deadlines to final hearings. You'll receive regular updates on your case status and can expect resolution within 6-12 months depending on the complexity.

Service Area

We serve Philadelphia County and surrounding areas including Delaware, Montgomery, Bucks, and Chester counties. Our deep knowledge of local assessment practices and market conditions in these areas allows us to provide effective representation. We're familiar with each county's specific procedures, deadlines, and hearing processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
Compare your assessment to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher than market value, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal?
In Pennsylvania, appeals must typically be filed within 40 days of receiving your assessment notice. Some counties have different deadlines, so contact us immediately if you're considering an appeal.
Will appealing my assessment trigger a higher evaluation?
No, Pennsylvania law prohibits raising your assessment solely because you filed an appeal. The worst outcome is maintaining your current assessment level.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely based on your property's overassessment level. Typical reductions range from 10-30% of the assessed value, translating to hundreds or thousands in annual tax savings.
Do I need to attend the hearing myself?
No, we represent you at all hearings and handle all communications with assessment officials. Your presence isn't required unless specifically requested.
What happens if we don't win the appeal?
If we work on contingency and don't secure a reduction, you owe nothing for our services. For hourly cases, you're responsible for fees regardless of outcome.
Can I appeal my assessment every year?
You can request an informal review annually, but formal appeals are typically limited unless there are significant changes to your property or market conditions. We'll advise you on the best timing for your situation.
How long do tax reductions last?
Successful appeals typically provide benefits until the next county-wide reassessment, which usually occurs every few years. The exact duration depends on your local assessment schedule.
