How They Can Help

Our core services include comprehensive property assessment reviews, formal tax appeals, and ongoing monitoring to catch future overassessments before they impact your taxes. We handle all types of residential properties from single-family homes to large multi-unit buildings, as well as commercial properties including retail, office, industrial, and mixed-use developments. We provide detailed property valuations using multiple approaches including sales comparison, cost, and income methods where applicable. Our appeal process includes thorough documentation preparation, evidence gathering, negotiation with assessors, and representation at Board of Revision hearings. We also offer specialized services for unique properties such as historic buildings, properties with environmental issues, or those affected by local economic changes. Additionally, we provide tax planning consultation to help minimize future assessment increases from improvements or renovations.

What to Expect

We start every case with a comprehensive property evaluation at no cost to determine if you have valid grounds for an appeal. This includes analyzing your current assessment against recent comparable sales, reviewing property condition factors, and examining market trends in your specific area. Once we identify potential savings, we develop a customized strategy for your appeal. We handle all paperwork, coordinate property inspections when needed, and gather supporting documentation including photographs, repair estimates, and comparable property data. We represent you throughout the entire process, from initial filing through Board of Revision hearings if necessary. Most cases resolve within 4-8 months, though complex commercial appeals may take longer.

Service Area

We serve all of Cuyahoga County including Cleveland, Lakewood, Parma, Strongsville, and surrounding communities. Our coverage extends to adjacent counties including Lake, Lorain, and Medina counties where we maintain familiarity with local assessment practices and market conditions. We focus primarily on the greater Cleveland metropolitan area where we have the deepest knowledge of neighborhood trends, assessor practices, and local market factors that influence property values.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a property assessment eligible for appeal?
Assessments can be appealed if they're higher than market value, contain factual errors, or don't account for property condition issues. Even successful appeals from previous years can sometimes be renewed with updated evidence.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely, but successful residential appeals typically reduce assessments by 10-30%. The actual tax savings depend on your local tax rate and the amount of reduction achieved.
Do you handle appeals for commercial properties?
Yes, we handle all types of commercial properties including retail, office, industrial, and investment properties. Commercial appeals often involve more complex valuation methods and can result in significant savings.
What if my assessment increased after a recent reappraisal?
Significant assessment increases following county-wide reappraisals are common appeal opportunities, especially if the increase seems disproportionate to actual market changes in your area.
Can I appeal if I disagree with the assessor's property description?
Absolutely. Errors in square footage, room counts, property condition, or other factual details are often easier to correct and can result in meaningful tax reductions.
How do you determine if my case is worth pursuing?
We analyze your assessment against comparable sales, review property characteristics, and consider local market trends. We only recommend appeals when we believe there's a strong likelihood of success.
Will an appeal affect my property's marketability?
No, appealing your assessment doesn't affect your ability to sell your property. In fact, a successful appeal that brings your assessment in line with market value can be beneficial.
What happens if the county raises my assessment after an appeal?
Ohio law generally prohibits assessors from increasing your assessment solely because you filed an appeal. Any increases must be based on independent evidence of higher value.
