Commercial property owners receive specialized attention for complex assets including office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, and multi-family properties. Residential services include homestead exemption applications, portability transfers, and assessment challenges for single-family homes, condominiums, and townhomes.

Formal appeal filing occurs within Florida's strict deadlines, followed by evidence preparation and witness coordination. Clients participate in Value Adjustment Board hearings with full attorney representation. Throughout the process, regular updates keep property owners informed of case progress and expected outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals in Florida?
Property owners must file appeals within 25 days of receiving the Truth in Millage (TRIM) notice, typically in July or August. Missing this deadline eliminates appeal rights for that tax year.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely based on property type and assessment accuracy. Residential properties often see 5-20% reductions while commercial properties may achieve larger percentage savings.
Do I need an appraisal for my property tax appeal?
Not always required, but professional appraisals strengthen cases significantly. The firm helps determine when appraisals provide sufficient value to justify the additional cost.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
Unsuccessful appeals can be taken to circuit court within 60 days. The firm evaluates each case to determine if further appeals are cost-effective for clients.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, property owners have appeal rights annually if they believe assessments exceed fair market value. Regular monitoring helps identify opportunities for ongoing savings.
How long does the property tax appeal process take?
Most appeals conclude within 3-6 months through Value Adjustment Board hearings. Complex cases or circuit court appeals may extend the timeline to 12 months or longer.
What evidence strengthens a property tax appeal?
Comparable sales data, property condition issues, income and expense records for commercial properties, and professional appraisals provide the strongest foundation. Recent sales of similar properties carry particular weight.
Are attorney fees tax-deductible for property tax appeals?
Generally yes, as these fees relate to tax determination and collection. Consult your tax advisor for specific deductibility rules based on your situation.
