Gabaie & Associates

Gabaie & Associates has been helping Maryland property owners reduce their tax burden through strategic assessment appeals and valuation reviews since establishing their Annapolis practice. The firm specializes in both residential and commercial property tax matters, bringing decades of combined experience to each case. Their approach focuses on thorough property analysis and evidence-based appeals that stand up to county review boards. The team understands Maryland's assessment procedures and uses this knowledge to identify opportunities for legitimate tax reductions. They've successfully handled cases ranging from single-family homes to multi-million dollar commercial properties.

The firm provides comprehensive property tax appeal services including assessment review and analysis, formal appeal preparation and filing, and representation at county hearings. They conduct detailed property valuations using comparable sales data, cost approaches, and income methodologies where applicable. For commercial properties, they analyze cap rates, vacancy factors, and market conditions to build strong cases. Residential services include homestead exemption applications, disability exemptions, and senior citizen tax credits. They also handle assessment errors such as incorrect square footage, property characteristics, or classification issues. The team prepares all necessary documentation, gathers supporting evidence, and represents clients throughout the appeals process. They work on a contingency basis for most appeals, meaning clients only pay when they achieve results.

The process begins with a free consultation where they review your property assessment and recent tax bills. They'll explain your appeal rights and potential savings based on their initial analysis. If you decide to proceed, they gather property data, research comparable sales, and prepare your appeal documentation. They handle all filing requirements and deadlines, ensuring your appeal is properly submitted to the county. Throughout the process, they keep you informed of developments and prepare you for any hearings where your presence might be beneficial. Most cases resolve within 3-6 months of filing.

Gabaie & Associates serves Anne Arundel County and surrounding Maryland jurisdictions from their Annapolis office. They handle appeals in Baltimore County, Prince George's County, and Montgomery County, with particular expertise in Anne Arundel County's assessment procedures and local market conditions. Their familiarity with regional assessors and hearing officers provides strategic advantages.
