Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine if my property taxes are too high?
We analyze your assessment against recent sales of comparable properties, review your property characteristics for accuracy, and evaluate current market conditions. This comprehensive analysis reveals whether grounds exist for a successful appeal.
What types of properties do you handle appeals for?
We handle all property types including single-family homes, condominiums, commercial buildings, industrial properties, and investment real estate. Each property type requires specialized knowledge of valuation approaches.
Can you guarantee specific tax savings amounts?
No ethical tax professional can guarantee specific savings amounts. Results depend on property-specific factors, market conditions, and the strength of available evidence supporting your appeal.
What's the difference between assessed value and market value?
Assessed value is what the property appraiser determines for tax purposes, while market value is what your property would likely sell for. These can differ significantly due to assessment caps, timing, and valuation methods.
Do I need a new appraisal to file a property tax appeal?
Not necessarily. We can often build strong cases using comparable sales data, assessment records, and other market evidence without requiring expensive new appraisals.
What happens if I miss the appeal deadline?
In Florida, missing the March 25th deadline typically means waiting until the following year to challenge your assessment. There are limited exceptions for discovery of new evidence.
Can filing an appeal cause my taxes to increase?
No, Florida law prohibits increasing your assessment solely because you filed an appeal. Your taxes can only stay the same or decrease as a result of your appeal.
How often can I appeal my property taxes?
You can file an appeal every year if you believe your assessment is incorrect. Some properties benefit from appeals multiple years in a row, especially during changing market conditions.
