How They Can Help

Our property tax services cover the full spectrum of assessment challenges. We conduct thorough property valuations using market data, comparable sales analysis, and income approach methods for commercial properties. Our assessment review process examines your property's classification, exemptions, and valuation methodology to identify potential errors or overvaluations. For residential properties, we handle homeowner exemptions, senior citizen deferrals, and disability exemptions. Commercial clients benefit from our expertise in income property valuations, business personal property appeals, and multi-year assessment strategies. We also provide ongoing monitoring services to catch assessment increases early and maintain optimal tax positions year after year.

What to Expect

Your property tax appeal begins with a comprehensive assessment review where we analyze your current valuation against market data and comparable properties. We'll schedule an on-site inspection to document any factors that might reduce your property's value. After gathering evidence, we prepare and file your formal appeal with the appropriate review board. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of deadlines and hearing schedules. If your case proceeds to a hearing, we'll represent you before the review board, presenting compelling evidence for a reduced assessment. Most cases resolve within 3-6 months.

Service Area

We serve King County, Snohomish County, and Pierce County, with particular expertise in Bellevue, Seattle, Redmond, and surrounding municipalities. Our team is familiar with each county's specific assessment practices and appeal procedures. We handle cases throughout the Puget Sound region, from suburban residential properties to urban commercial developments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your neighborhood. If your assessment is significantly higher than comparable sales, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal?
In Washington, you typically have 30-60 days from when your assessment notice is mailed to file an appeal. Deadlines vary by county, so contact us immediately if you think your deadline is approaching.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Successful appeals typically result in 10-40% reductions in assessed value, translating to proportional savings on your annual tax bill. Actual savings depend on your property's specific circumstances and the strength of your case.
Do I need to pay anything upfront for an appeal?
Most residential and straightforward commercial appeals operate on contingency, meaning no upfront fees. You pay only if we successfully reduce your assessment, typically 25-35% of your first year's tax savings.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can appeal annually if you believe your assessment is incorrect. However, successful appeals typically require new evidence or changed circumstances affecting your property's value.
What happens if I lose my appeal?
If your initial appeal is unsuccessful, you may have options to appeal to a higher authority, such as the state Board of Tax Appeals. We'll advise you on the merits of pursuing further appeals.
How long does the appeals process take?
Most appeals are resolved within 3-6 months, though complex commercial cases can take longer. We'll keep you updated on timing throughout the process.
Will appealing my taxes affect my ability to sell my property?
No, property tax appeals don't create liens or affect your ability to sell. In fact, lower assessments can make your property more attractive to potential buyers due to lower ongoing tax obligations.
