Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Oakland County appeals different from other areas?
Oakland County has more sophisticated assessment practices and higher property values, requiring detailed market knowledge and professional expertise. The appeals process is more formal than in some counties.
How do property taxes affect my estate planning?
High property taxes can significantly impact wealth transfer and estate values. Coordinating tax reduction strategies with estate planning can provide long-term benefits for your family.
Can you help with both residential and commercial properties?
Yes, the firm handles all types of property appeals including residential homes, commercial buildings, and investment properties throughout Oakland County.
What's your success rate with appeals?
Success rates vary by property type and market conditions, but they achieve meaningful reductions in approximately 70-80% of cases they accept.
Do I need a recent appraisal to file an appeal?
While helpful, appraisals aren't required. They can build compelling cases using market sales data, assessment equity analysis, and property condition factors.
How do you determine if my case has merit?
They analyze your assessment against comparable sales, neighborhood trends, and assessment equity. Cases with strong evidence of overassessment proceed to formal appeals.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
On contingency cases, you pay nothing if no reduction is achieved. They only charge fees when they successfully lower your property taxes.
Can appeals affect my property insurance or mortgage?
Generally no. Successful appeals reduce taxes without affecting property insurance or mortgage terms, though you should notify your lender of significant changes.
