How They Can Help

Our core service is property tax appeal representation for both residential and commercial properties. We handle the entire appeal process from initial assessment review through formal hearings. For residential properties, we analyze your assessment against comparable sales, property conditions, and market factors. Commercial property appeals involve detailed income and expense analysis, vacancy rates, and capitalization rate studies. We also provide assessment review services for properties you're considering purchasing, helping you understand potential tax liabilities before closing. Our valuation analysis service gives property owners detailed reports comparing their assessments to market value. For property management companies and real estate investors, we offer portfolio reviews to identify multiple properties with appeal potential. Additionally, we provide consultation on property improvements and how they might affect future assessments.

What to Expect

Your appeal process starts with our free assessment review where we analyze your property's current assessment against market data. If we find appeal potential, we'll explain the likely outcomes and our fee structure. Once you approve, we gather all necessary documentation including property records, comparable sales, and photographs. We prepare and file your formal appeal with the county assessor's office within required deadlines. Throughout the process, we handle all communications with assessors and represent you at hearings if needed. Most appeals resolve through negotiation, but we're fully prepared for formal hearings when necessary.

Service Area

We serve all of Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas counties, including Portland, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Tigard, Milwaukie, and surrounding communities. Our deep knowledge of local assessment practices and market conditions in each jurisdiction helps us build stronger cases for our clients throughout the metro area.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property assessment is too high?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher despite similar size and condition, you may have appeal grounds.
What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals?
Appeal deadlines vary by county but are typically 30-60 days after assessment notices are mailed. Missing deadlines means waiting until the next assessment cycle.
Do you charge upfront fees?
No, we work on contingency. You pay only if we successfully reduce your assessment, and our fee is a percentage of your first year's tax savings.
How long do appeals take?
Most residential appeals resolve in 3-6 months. Commercial appeals can take 4-8 months due to their complexity and the need for detailed income analysis.
Can I appeal every year?
Yes, you can appeal annually if you believe your assessment is excessive. However, successful appeals in previous years don't guarantee future success.
What documentation do you need from me?
We need your property tax statement, deed, and any documentation of property damage or unique conditions. We handle gathering most other required documents.
Will appealing increase my chances of future audits?
No, filing legitimate appeals doesn't trigger increased scrutiny. Appeals are a normal part of the assessment process that counties expect and accommodate.
What if my appeal is unsuccessful?
If we don't achieve a reduction, you owe nothing. We can also discuss whether the case merits an appeal to the county board or tax court.
