How They Can Help

We offer complete property tax appeal services including assessment challenges, Proposition 8 applications for properties that have declined in value, and supplemental assessment appeals for new construction or change of ownership situations. Our practice covers all property types including single-family homes, condominiums, commercial buildings, industrial properties, and vacant land. We conduct comprehensive property valuations using market sales analysis, income approaches for investment properties, and cost analysis when appropriate. Our services include business personal property appeals, helping businesses challenge assessments on equipment, fixtures, and other business assets. We also provide ongoing assessment monitoring services, reviewing annual tax bills for errors or excessive increases. When necessary, we'll represent clients in superior court appeals after exhausting administrative remedies. Our goal is to ensure every client pays only their fair share of property taxes based on accurate market valuations.

What to Expect

Our process begins with a comprehensive review of your property's assessment history and current market position. We analyze recent comparable sales, examine your property's characteristics, and identify potential grounds for appeal. If we determine an appeal has merit, we'll prepare detailed documentation including market analysis, photographs, and supporting evidence. We file all paperwork within required deadlines and represent you throughout the appeals process. Most cases are resolved at the county appeals board level, where we present evidence supporting a fair market value assessment. We maintain clear communication throughout, providing regular updates on case progress and explaining each step of the process.

Service Area

We serve Sacramento and surrounding areas including Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, Carmichael, and Arden-Arcade. Our practice covers properties throughout Sacramento County, with particular expertise in established neighborhoods and emerging market areas. We also handle selected cases in adjoining counties when the circumstances warrant our specialized attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes you think my property is over-assessed?
We analyze your assessment against recent sales of similar properties, market trends, and property-specific factors. Significant discrepancies may indicate grounds for appeal.
How quickly can we start an appeal?
We can usually begin immediately after consultation, but appeals must be filed by November 30th each year. Earlier filing allows more time for preparation.
What if I just bought my property?
Recent purchases can sometimes trigger reassessments that exceed actual purchase price, especially if improvements were made. We can evaluate whether your new assessment is appropriate.
Do you need access to my property?
Physical inspection isn't always necessary, but it can strengthen cases by documenting conditions, defects, or features that affect value. We'll advise if inspection would be beneficial.
Can you appeal business property assessments?
Yes, we handle both real property and business personal property appeals. Business equipment and fixtures are often over-assessed, creating appeal opportunities.
What happens if the appeal doesn't work?
Under our contingency arrangement, you pay nothing if we're unsuccessful. In some cases, we may recommend superior court appeal if we believe the appeals board made errors.
How do you calculate potential savings?
We estimate potential assessment reductions based on market evidence, then calculate annual tax savings. Actual results depend on appeals board decisions and final assessed values.
Will this affect my ability to sell my property?
Assessment appeals don't impact your ability to sell or market value. Successful appeals often establish more accurate valuations that can actually support your asking price.
