Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I hire an attorney for my property tax appeal?
Attorneys can represent you in all proceedings including court appeals, provide legal advocacy skills, and ensure proper procedural compliance. We also understand property tax law complexities that non-attorney consultants may miss.
What percentage of appeals are successful?
Success rates vary by case facts, but we achieve reductions in approximately 70-80% of appeals we accept. We're selective about cases we take to maintain high success rates.
How much can you typically reduce property taxes?
Reductions vary widely based on actual overassessment. We've achieved reductions ranging from 10-50% of assessed value in successful cases.
Do you handle appeals in all Atlanta area counties?
Yes, we handle appeals throughout metro Atlanta including Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, Cherokee, and surrounding counties. We're familiar with each county's specific procedures.
What if my appeal goes to court?
As licensed attorneys, we can represent you in superior court proceedings if administrative appeals are unsuccessful. Many non-attorney consultants cannot provide this service.
How do contingency fees work?
You pay nothing upfront and only pay our fee if we successfully reduce your assessment. Our fee is calculated as a percentage of your first year's tax savings.
Can you help with exemption applications?
Yes, we assist with homestead exemptions, agricultural exemptions, and other property tax relief programs available under Georgia law.
What should I do if I disagree with my assessment?
Contact us immediately upon receiving your assessment notice. Georgia has strict deadlines for filing appeals, and early action preserves all your legal options.
