Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
We conduct comprehensive market analysis comparing your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties and current market conditions. Significant disparities often indicate overassessment and appeal opportunities.
What's your success rate with property tax appeals?
While success rates vary by case type and market conditions, we carefully screen cases before acceptance to maximize success probability. Most accepted cases result in meaningful tax reductions for our clients.
Can you handle appeals for all types of properties?
Yes, we represent owners of residential homes, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and special-purpose properties. Each property type requires specialized valuation expertise and legal strategies.
What happens during the appeal hearing process?
We prepare comprehensive evidence packages and represent you at hearings before local review boards or the Michigan Tax Tribunal. Most clients don't need to attend hearings as we handle all representation and advocacy.
How long do property tax reductions last?
Successful appeals establish lower assessed values that typically continue until market conditions or property improvements justify increases. We monitor ongoing assessments to identify future appeal opportunities.
What documentation do you need to evaluate my case?
We start with recent tax bills and property information, then gather additional evidence including comparable sales data, property condition reports, and market analysis to build your appeal case.
Do you offer payment plans for your services?
Most appeals operate on contingency fees with no upfront costs. For consulting services, we can discuss payment arrangements based on individual client needs and case requirements.
Can I appeal my property taxes if I recently purchased the property?
Yes, recent purchases can actually strengthen appeal cases if you paid less than the assessed value. Purchase price provides strong evidence of market value for assessment challenges.
