How They Can Help

We provide comprehensive property tax reduction services tailored to each client's unique situation. Our residential services include assessment challenges, homestead exemption applications, and senior citizen tax credit assistance. We specialize in identifying assessment errors through detailed market analysis and property condition evaluations. For commercial clients, we offer sophisticated valuation services using income capitalization, cost approach, and sales comparison methodologies. Our commercial expertise covers retail properties, office buildings, industrial facilities, and investment properties. We also provide ongoing assessment monitoring services, helping clients identify future appeal opportunities before tax bills arrive. Special services include historic property assessments, agricultural use valuations, and contaminated property appeals.

What to Expect

We start every case with a thorough property evaluation and assessment analysis. Our team reviews your property records, recent sales data, and assessment history to identify potential issues and opportunities. Once we identify viable grounds for appeal, we develop a comprehensive strategy and timeline. We handle all documentation, filing requirements, and communication with assessment offices. Most clients never need to attend hearings - we represent your interests throughout the process. We provide regular updates and explain each step so you understand exactly what's happening with your case.

Service Area

We focus primarily on Baltimore City and Baltimore County, where our deep local knowledge provides maximum advantage. Our team knows every neighborhood, understands local assessment patterns, and maintains relationships with assessment officials. This concentrated geographic focus allows us to provide more effective representation than firms spread across multiple states. We know which arguments work with local boards and have extensive databases of comparable sales and assessment patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What percentage of your cases result in tax reductions?
Over the past five years, we've achieved tax reductions for more than 80% of our clients. Success rates vary by property type and case specifics.
How do you determine if my property is a good candidate for appeal?
We analyze your assessment against recent sales data, property records, and local market conditions. This analysis typically reveals whether you're paying more than you should.
Can you help with properties outside Baltimore?
We focus on Baltimore City and Baltimore County to provide the best possible service. Our deep local knowledge gives clients significant advantages in these jurisdictions.
What information do you need to evaluate my case?
We need your most recent assessment notice, property deed, and any recent appraisals. We can often begin preliminary analysis with just your address and assessment information.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes, we provide free initial consultations to discuss your situation and determine if an appeal makes sense. This includes basic assessment analysis and fee estimates.
How are contingency fees calculated?
For residential cases, we typically charge 30% of first-year tax savings with a $500 minimum fee. Commercial cases may use different fee structures based on complexity.
What happens if the assessment board doesn't reduce my taxes?
If we're unsuccessful at the initial level, we can appeal to the Maryland Tax Court. Under contingency arrangements, you owe nothing if we don't achieve savings.
How long will tax reductions last?
Successful appeals typically provide savings until the next reassessment cycle. We also offer monitoring services to identify future appeal opportunities as they arise.
