Frequently Asked Questions

What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Ohio?
You have until March 31st to file complaints with the county auditor, or December 31st for Board of Revision appeals. However, there are exceptions for certain circumstances like recent sales or new construction.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely based on your property's over-assessment level. Typical successful appeals result in 10-30% reductions, though some cases achieve much larger savings.
Do you work on contingency for all cases?
Contingency arrangements are available for many residential cases and some commercial properties. The specific fee structure depends on your property type and case complexity.
What evidence do I need to support my appeal?
Key evidence includes recent comparable sales, property condition issues, and market data. We'll help gather and organize all necessary documentation for your specific situation.
Can I appeal if I just bought my property?
Yes, recent sales often provide strong evidence for appeals, especially if you paid less than the assessed value. New ownership can trigger reassessment opportunities.
What happens if my first appeal is denied?
Ohio provides multiple appeal levels. If the Board of Revision denies your case, you can appeal to the Board of Tax Appeals, and ultimately to court if necessary.
How long do tax reductions last?
Successful appeals typically provide savings for multiple years until the next reappraisal cycle. However, assessors can increase values in subsequent years based on market changes.
Should I appeal every year?
Not necessarily - appeals should be based on legitimate over-assessments or changed circumstances. We evaluate each year's potential and recommend appeals only when justified by evidence.
