Property assessment appeals form the core of Jason's practice, where he analyzes your property's assessed value against current market conditions and comparable sales data. He prepares comprehensive appeals for the Board of Review, Michigan Tax Tribunal, and Court of Appeals when necessary. His residential services include homestead exemption applications, principal residence exemptions, and poverty exemption assistance for qualifying homeowners. For commercial clients, Jason provides ongoing assessment monitoring, lease analysis for income approach valuations, and specialized appeals for unique property types like manufacturing facilities and retail centers. He also offers property tax consulting for real estate transactions, helping buyers understand potential tax implications before purchase. His valuation services include independent appraisals for appeal purposes and expert witness testimony in contested cases.

Your consultation begins with a comprehensive property analysis where Jason reviews your assessment history, recent sales in your area, and any unique factors affecting your property's value. He'll explain the likelihood of success and potential savings before you commit to representation. If you proceed, Jason handles all paperwork preparation, evidence gathering, and hearing attendance on your behalf. The appeal process typically starts at the local Board of Review level, where Jason presents your case using market data and property-specific evidence. If unsuccessful locally, he can advance your case to the Michigan Tax Tribunal or higher courts. Throughout the process, you'll receive regular updates and copies of all documentation. Most cases resolve within 6-12 months, depending on the appeal level required.

Jason serves all of Macomb County and surrounding areas, including Warren, Sterling Heights, Clinton Township, and Roseville. He also handles cases throughout southeastern Michigan, particularly for commercial properties and complex residential appeals. His familiarity with local assessors and market conditions in these areas gives clients a significant advantage in their appeals.
