How They Can Help

Our property tax practice covers comprehensive assessment appeals for residential and commercial properties throughout central Ohio. We handle homeowner cases involving sudden assessment increases, incorrect property classifications, and over-valuations due to flawed comparable sales analysis. Commercial services include appeals for retail buildings, office complexes, industrial facilities, and investment properties. We provide thorough property valuations using appropriate methodologies for each property type and current market conditions. Our assessment review process examines county calculations, property classifications, and exemption applications. We represent clients before county boards of revision and pursue additional appeals when initial hearings don't achieve fair results. The firm also offers ongoing tax planning consultation to help clients understand assessment cycles and identify future savings opportunities before they become necessary appeals.

What to Expect

Your case begins with a detailed consultation where we review your property assessment, tax history, and specific concerns about current valuations. We analyze county assessment records, recent comparable sales, and market conditions to determine appeal viability. If we identify legitimate grounds for reduction, we'll outline the appeal strategy and timeline. We then gather comprehensive supporting documentation including property inspections, market studies, and expert opinions when needed. All appeal paperwork is prepared and filed within required deadlines. We handle county board presentations and negotiate with assessors when appropriate. Throughout the process, you receive detailed updates on case progress and strategic decisions.

Service Area

We serve Franklin County and adjacent central Ohio counties including Delaware, Fairfield, Licking, and Pickaway. Our Columbus practice location provides convenient access to county assessment offices and hearing facilities. Attorney McKee maintains working relationships with local assessors and understands each county's specific procedures and assessment practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as grounds for a property tax appeal?
Common grounds include over-valuation compared to market value, assessment calculation errors, improper property classification, or failure to account for property condition issues. We evaluate these factors during our initial consultation.
How much could my property taxes be reduced?
Reductions vary significantly based on individual circumstances. Residential properties typically see 15-35% reductions when over-assessed, while commercial properties may achieve 20-45% savings in appropriate cases.
Do you personally handle all cases or pass them to staff?
Attorney McKee personally handles all aspects of your case from initial consultation through final resolution. You'll work directly with him throughout the entire appeal process.
What's included in your contingency fee?
Our contingency fee covers all services including case analysis, documentation gathering, appeal preparation, board representation, and any necessary follow-up appeals. No additional charges apply.
Can I appeal my assessment every year?
Yes, you can file annual appeals if you believe your assessment is incorrect. However, we recommend appeals only when there are legitimate grounds and reasonable prospects for success.
What happens if the county rejects our appeal?
We can pursue additional appeals to the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals and state level courts when appropriate. Your assessment cannot increase due to filing an appeal.
How quickly should I contact you after receiving an assessment notice?
Contact us immediately upon receiving your assessment notice. Ohio counties have strict deadlines, typically 30-60 days, and missing deadlines eliminates appeal rights for that tax year.
What makes your approach different from other tax attorneys?
My 20+ years focused on tax law, combined with personal case handling and selective case acceptance, ensures you receive experienced representation and realistic expectations about outcomes.
