How They Can Help

We specialize in comprehensive property tax appeals for both residential and commercial properties. Our assessment review service examines your property's current valuation against market data and comparable sales to identify potential overassessments. For homeowners, we handle homestead exemption applications and dispute incorrect property classifications that inflate tax bills. Commercial property owners benefit from our income approach valuations and cost analysis reviews. We challenge assessments on office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, and industrial properties. Our tax reduction consulting includes ongoing monitoring of your property's assessment history and proactive appeals when values spike unexpectedly. We also provide valuation analysis for properties undergoing significant changes like renovations, damage, or market shifts that should impact assessed values.

What to Expect

Your property tax consultation begins with a comprehensive assessment review where we analyze your current tax bill, property records, and comparable sales data. We'll identify potential savings opportunities and explain the appeal process timeline. If we find grounds for an appeal, we prepare detailed documentation including property condition reports, market analysis, and legal arguments. We handle all filing requirements and represent you at hearings before the Value Adjustment Board or Property Appraiser's office. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and deadlines. Most appeals are resolved within 6-8 months, and we work on contingency for many cases, meaning you only pay if we achieve results.

Service Area

We serve all of Tampa Bay including Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Brandon, and Westchase. Our coverage extends throughout Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties. We're familiar with each county's specific procedures, local Property Appraisers' offices, and Value Adjustment Board practices, which gives our clients a significant advantage in appeals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Compare your assessment to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher than comparable sales, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Florida?
You must file within 25 days of receiving your Truth in Millage (TRIM) notice, typically sent in August. Missing this deadline means waiting until the following year.
Can I appeal if I just bought my property?
Yes, recent purchase price can be strong evidence of market value. If you paid significantly less than the assessed value, you likely have a valid appeal.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals are resolved within 6-8 months. Simple cases may be settled earlier through informal conferences with the Property Appraiser's office.
What happens if I lose my appeal?
You can appeal the Value Adjustment Board's decision to circuit court within 30 days. We can represent you through this additional level of appeal.
Will appealing my taxes trigger an audit or increase scrutiny?
No, filing an appeal is your legal right and won't trigger additional scrutiny. Property Appraisers expect and regularly handle appeals as part of their normal process.
Can I appeal multiple years at once?
No, each tax year requires a separate appeal. However, we can often identify patterns that help with future year strategies.
What documentation do I need for an appeal?
Typical documents include recent comparable sales, repair estimates, photos of property conditions, and income/expense statements for commercial properties. We'll guide you on specific requirements for your case.
