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 exceeds market evidence by 10% or more, you may have grounds for appeal.
What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals in Ohio?
Appeals must be filed by March 31st following the tax lien date. However, informal discussions with assessors can occur throughout the year.
Do you charge upfront fees or work on contingency?
Both options are available depending on your case. Simple reviews may require upfront payment, while complex appeals often work well with contingency arrangements.
How long does the appeal process typically take?
Most residential appeals resolve within 3-6 months. Commercial appeals can take 6-12 months depending on complexity and hearing schedules.
What documents do I need for a property tax appeal?
Bring recent tax bills, property deeds, and any information about property condition or market factors. I'll help identify additional documentation needed for your specific case.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, but appeals should be based on legitimate valuation concerns, not routine annual filings. I recommend appealing when evidence supports your case.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
Failed appeals don't increase your taxes, but you may be responsible for appeal costs. Most cases settle before formal hearings through negotiation.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely based on individual circumstances. Successful appeals typically reduce assessments by 10-30%, translating to meaningful annual tax savings.
