How They Can Help

The firm offers complete property tax appeal services for both residential and commercial properties. This includes initial assessment reviews where they analyze your current tax bill against market values and comparable properties in your area. They handle all aspects of formal appeals, from filing deadlines to presenting evidence at hearings. For commercial properties, they provide detailed valuation analysis that considers income approaches, market comparisons, and replacement costs. Residential clients benefit from their knowledge of homestead exemptions, agricultural classifications, and other tax-saving opportunities. They also assist with property reclassification requests when land use changes could result in lower assessments. Additional services include ongoing monitoring of your property's assessed value, advice on property improvements that might affect taxation, and consultation on timing major renovations to minimize tax impact. They maintain relationships with certified appraisers and can coordinate professional appraisals when needed to support your case.

What to Expect

Your property tax consultation begins with a comprehensive review of your current assessment and recent tax bills. They'll explain exactly why your property might be over-assessed and what evidence will be most effective for your specific situation. Once you decide to proceed, they handle all filing requirements and deadlines. You'll receive regular updates on your case's progress, and they'll prepare you for any hearings where your presence might be helpful. Most appeals are resolved through administrative review, but they're fully prepared for formal hearings when necessary. The entire process typically takes 3-6 months from filing to resolution, depending on your county's schedule and case complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your neighborhood. If your assessment is significantly higher than what comparable properties sold for, you may have grounds for appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal?
In Florida, you have 25 days from receiving your TRIM notice to file an appeal. Missing this deadline can be costly, so contact us immediately if you think your assessment is too high.
Can I appeal if my property value increased but seems reasonable?
Yes, you can appeal any assessment you believe exceeds fair market value. Even if your property increased in value, the assessment might still be too high compared to actual market conditions.
Do I have to attend the appeal hearing?
Not necessarily - we can represent you at most hearings. However, your presence can sometimes be helpful, especially if you have specific knowledge about property conditions or neighborhood factors.
How much can I expect to save on a successful appeal?
Savings vary widely based on the degree of over-assessment and your property's value. Typical reductions range from 5-25% of assessed value, translating to hundreds or thousands in annual tax savings.
What evidence do you need for my appeal?
We'll gather comparable sales data, review your property's condition, and analyze any factors that might negatively affect value. Professional appraisals can be helpful but aren't always necessary.
Can you help with homestead exemptions and other tax breaks?
Yes, we review all available exemptions and classifications that might reduce your tax burden. Many property owners miss out on significant savings from exemptions they qualify for but haven't applied for.
What happens if the appeal is unsuccessful?
If we don't achieve a reduction in your assessed value, you typically owe nothing under our contingency fee arrangement. We only pursue appeals we believe have good chances of success.
