How They Can Help

We handle comprehensive property tax appeals for both residential and commercial properties throughout Maryland. Our residential services include assessment reviews, formal appeals preparation, and informal hearings with local assessors. For homeowners, we analyze recent sales data, property conditions, and assessment methodologies to build compelling cases for tax reduction. Commercial property tax consulting forms another major part of our practice. We conduct detailed valuation analysis for office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, and multi-family complexes. Our commercial services include income approach valuations, market analysis, and representation before assessment boards. We also provide ongoing tax planning strategies to help property owners anticipate and prepare for future assessments. Annual assessment monitoring services keep clients informed about changes that might trigger the need for appeals, ensuring they never miss critical deadlines or opportunities for tax savings.

What to Expect

Your property tax appeal starts with a comprehensive assessment review where we analyze your current valuation against market data and recent sales in your area. We'll examine your property's physical condition, any factors that might reduce value, and compare assessment methodologies used by local authorities. Once we identify grounds for appeal, we prepare detailed documentation including market analysis, property inspections, and supporting evidence. We handle all filing requirements and deadlines, then represent you at informal hearings or formal board meetings. Throughout the process, we keep you informed about progress and strategy. Most appeals resolve within 3-6 months, and we don't charge fees unless we achieve tax savings for our clients.

Service Area

We serve property owners throughout central Maryland, with primary focus on Anne Arundel County, including Annapolis, Glen Burnie, and Severna Park. Our service area extends to neighboring jurisdictions in Howard County, Prince George's County, and parts of Baltimore County. We're familiar with assessment practices across these regions and maintain relationships with local assessors and board members that help facilitate successful appeals.

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 comparable sales, you may have grounds for appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Maryland?
Deadlines vary by county but are typically 45-60 days after assessment notices are mailed. Anne Arundel County usually allows 45 days from the notice date.
How much can I expect to save on a successful appeal?
Savings vary widely, but our average residential client saves about $1,200 annually. Commercial properties often see larger absolute savings due to higher assessed values.
Will appealing my assessment cause problems with future assessments?
No, filing an appeal is your legal right and won't negatively impact future assessments. Assessors must value properties fairly regardless of past appeals.
Can I appeal my assessment if I recently bought the property?
Yes, but recent purchase prices carry significant weight in assessment appeals. If you paid market value recently, appeals are less likely to succeed.
What documents do I need for a property tax appeal?
We handle document gathering, but helpful items include recent sales data, property photos showing condition issues, and records of any property damage or improvements.
How often can I appeal my property assessment?
You can appeal each time a new assessment is issued. In Anne Arundel County, this typically means every three years unless there are interim assessments.
Do I have to attend the appeal hearing?
We represent clients at hearings, though your presence can sometimes be helpful. We'll advise you on whether attendance would benefit your specific case.
