How They Can Help

We provide comprehensive property tax reduction services for both residential and commercial properties. Our assessment review process examines your property's valuation against comparable sales, market conditions, and assessment methodology. We handle formal appeals to local boards of review, Michigan Tax Tribunal cases, and Court of Appeals proceedings when necessary. For commercial properties, we conduct detailed income and expense analysis, reviewing cap rates and market rent data. Our residential services include neighborhood comparisons, physical property inspections, and challenge of assessment increases. We also provide ongoing monitoring services to catch assessment errors early and file timely appeals. All appeals are handled on a contingency basis, so you only pay when we reduce your taxes.

What to Expect

Your journey starts with a free property assessment review where we analyze your current valuation and tax history. If we identify savings potential, we'll explain our findings and the appeal process. We handle all paperwork, deadlines, and hearings on your behalf. You'll receive regular updates throughout the process, and we'll explain each step clearly. Most residential appeals resolve at the local level, while commercial cases may require Tax Tribunal proceedings. We prepare thoroughly for each hearing and present compelling evidence to support your case.

Service Area

We serve all of Southeast Michigan, with particular expertise in Oakland, Wayne, and Macomb counties. Our Farmington Hills location provides easy access throughout the metro Detroit area. We handle cases statewide through the Michigan Tax Tribunal and have successfully represented clients in rural and urban markets across Michigan.
