How They Can Help

We offer comprehensive property tax appeal services including initial assessment reviews, formal appeal preparation, and hearing representation. Our residential services cover single-family homes, condos, and investment properties. For commercial clients, we handle office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, and multi-family complexes. Our assessment review process includes comparable sales analysis, property condition evaluations, and market trend assessments. We prepare all necessary documentation for appeals and represent you at hearings before the Property Tax Assessment Appeals Board. We also provide ongoing monitoring services to catch assessment increases early and file timely appeals when needed.

What to Expect

Start by calling us for a free assessment review within 30 days of receiving your tax bill. We'll analyze your property's assessment against comparable sales and current market conditions. If we find grounds for appeal, we'll explain the potential savings and our fee structure. Once you hire us, we handle all paperwork and deadlines. We prepare your appeal documents, gather supporting evidence, and represent you at any required hearings. Most appeals are resolved within 60-90 days, and you'll see the tax reduction on your next bill if successful.

Service Area

We serve Baltimore City and surrounding counties including Baltimore County, Anne Arundel County, and Howard County. Our Baltimore office location gives us deep knowledge of local assessment practices and hearing procedures. We're familiar with neighborhood-specific valuation issues throughout the metropolitan area.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can you typically reduce my property taxes?
Most successful appeals result in 10-25% tax reductions, though some cases achieve larger savings. The amount depends on how much your property was overassessed compared to market value.
What's your success rate for property tax appeals?
We achieve some level of reduction in approximately 70% of the appeals we file. We only take cases where we believe there's a reasonable chance of success.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most residential appeals are resolved within 60-90 days. Commercial appeals may take 90-120 days due to their complexity and the need for detailed valuation analysis.
Can I appeal my assessment myself?
Yes, but professional representation significantly improves your chances. We know exactly what evidence the appeals board finds compelling and how to present your case effectively.
When is the deadline to file an appeal?
In Maryland, you typically have 40 days from the date of your assessment notice to file an appeal. Missing this deadline means waiting until the next reassessment cycle.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
If we don't achieve any tax reduction, you owe us nothing under our contingency fee structure. You can also appeal to the Maryland Tax Court if you disagree with the local decision.
Do you handle commercial property appeals?
Yes, we have extensive experience with commercial properties including office buildings, retail centers, and industrial facilities. These cases require specialized valuation expertise we provide.
Will appealing my assessment trigger an audit or increase my taxes?
No, filing an appeal won't increase your current assessment. The worst outcome is that your assessment stays the same, but you can't be penalized for appealing.
