How They Can Help

The firm offers complete property tax appeal services, starting with comprehensive assessment reviews to identify potential overvaluations. They handle residential property tax protests for homeowners who believe their assessments are too high compared to similar properties in their neighborhood. For commercial clients, they provide detailed valuation analysis using income, cost, and market approaches to build strong cases for assessment reductions. Their commercial property tax services include challenging assessments on office buildings, retail spaces, industrial facilities, and multi-family properties. They also assist with Board of Review hearings and Property Tax Appeal Board cases when initial appeals don't provide adequate relief. The team prepares all necessary documentation, gathers comparable sales data, and presents compelling arguments to reduce assessed values.

What to Expect

The process begins with a free consultation where they review your property assessment and recent tax bills. They'll analyze your property's assessed value against comparable sales and current market conditions. If they identify potential savings, they'll explain the appeal process and timeline. Once you engage their services, they gather supporting documentation including property records, comparable sales data, and any relevant market information. They prepare and file all appeal paperwork within required deadlines, represent you at hearings, and negotiate with assessors when possible. Throughout the process, they keep you informed of progress and next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine if my property assessment is too high?
We compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area and analyze your property's specific characteristics. We also review assessment records for errors or outdated information that might inflate your value.
What are the deadlines for filing property tax appeals?
Deadlines vary by county but are typically 30 days from when assessment notices are mailed. Cook County usually requires appeals by July, while other counties may have different schedules.
Do you guarantee that you'll reduce my property taxes?
We can't guarantee specific results, but we only take cases where we believe there's a strong chance of achieving meaningful savings. Our contingency fee structure means we're only paid if we succeed.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary depending on how much your property is overassessed. Typical successful appeals result in 10-30% reductions in assessed value, which translates to similar percentage savings in annual tax bills.
What happens if the initial appeal is denied?
We can pursue additional levels of appeal including the Property Tax Appeal Board for Cook County or circuit court in some cases. We'll discuss all available options if initial appeals don't provide adequate relief.
Do I need to attend hearings or meetings?
Usually not. We handle most hearings and meetings on your behalf as your legal representatives. We'll keep you informed of progress and may ask for input on settlement offers.
How long does the appeal process typically take?
Simple residential appeals may resolve in 3-6 months, while complex commercial cases can take up to a year. Much depends on the county's backlog and the complexity of your case.
What documents do you need to start my appeal?
We need recent property tax bills, your property deed, and any recent appraisals or improvement records you have. We'll gather most other necessary documentation as part of our service.
