What to Expect

Once retained, the office handles all required filings, evidence preparation, and communications with the property appraiser's office.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a property tax appeal successful?
Successful appeals rely on strong comparable sales data, documented property issues, or errors in assessment methodology. Properties with recent sales below assessed value or significant physical problems have the best chances.
How do you determine if my property is over-assessed?
Ray analyzes recent comparable sales, reviews assessment records for errors, and evaluates your property's condition and market factors. This analysis determines appeal viability and expected outcomes.
What happens if we don't reach a settlement?
If negotiation fails, the case proceeds to a formal hearing before the value adjustment board. Ray will represent you, present evidence, and argue for the appropriate assessed value.
Can I appeal if my property value went up?
Yes, appeals focus on whether the assessed value exceeds fair market value, regardless of whether values increased. Even appreciating properties can be over-assessed relative to market conditions.
What documents do I need for my appeal?
Bring your property deed, recent tax assessments, any appraisals, purchase documents, and photos of property conditions. Ray will help identify and gather additional evidence needed for your specific case.
How much can I expect to save?
Savings vary based on individual circumstances, but successful appeals typically achieve 10-35% reductions in assessed value. Ray will provide realistic expectations based on your property's specific situation.
Do you handle appeals for condominiums?
Yes, condo appeals are handled frequently, though they present unique challenges due to shared amenities and association issues. Success often depends on comparable sales within the same or similar developments.
What if I missed the appeal deadline?
Unfortunately, appeal deadlines are strictly enforced and cannot be extended. You'll need to wait until the following year to file an appeal, which is why early consultation is important.
