Frequently Asked Questions

Do you only work with HOAs or individual owners too?
We serve both HOAs and individual property owners. Our HOA background actually helps us better understand complex property situations that benefit all clients.
How is appealing an HOA assessment different from individual appeals?
HOA appeals often involve common areas and shared amenities that require specialized valuation methods. We understand these complexities and how to value shared property elements.
What makes your approach different from other firms?
Our accounting background allows us to provide stronger financial analysis and documentation. We understand property cash flows and income valuations that support successful appeals.
Can you handle appeals for commercial properties owned by HOAs?
Yes, we regularly handle appeals for HOA-owned commercial spaces like retail areas in mixed-use developments or rental properties owned by associations.
Do you offer payment plans for your services?
We offer contingency fees for most appeals, meaning no upfront payment. For hourly work, we can arrange payment schedules based on case duration.
How do you determine if an HOA common area is over-assessed?
We analyze the income potential, replacement cost, and comparable sales of similar amenities. Many assessors don't properly account for maintenance costs and limited income potential of common areas.
What documentation do HOAs need for appeals?
Typically financial statements, maintenance records, management contracts, and any studies or appraisals of common elements. We'll provide a specific list based on your property.
How long have you been handling property tax appeals?
While we started in HOA accounting, we've been handling property tax matters for over five years and have developed significant expertise in DC assessment procedures.
