Most cases are handled on contingency with fees ranging from 30-40% of first-year tax savings. You pay nothing unless we successfully reduce your assessment.
What happens during the appeal hearing?
We present evidence supporting a lower valuation including comparable sales, property condition issues, and market analysis. Property owners may attend but testimony is typically handled by our team.
