Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Delaware County appeals different from other counties?
Delaware County has unique assessment patterns due to rapid growth and development. The Board of Revision procedures and hearing schedules also differ from larger counties like Franklin.
How do you determine if my property is over-assessed?
We analyze recent comparable sales, property conditions, and assessment methodology. Over-assessments often occur due to outdated market data or incorrect property characteristics.
What's your success rate for Delaware County appeals?
The majority of our cases result in some tax reduction, though the amount varies by property. Our local experience helps identify cases with the strongest potential for meaningful savings.
Can you handle appeals for properties I'm buying?
Yes, recent purchases often provide strong evidence for appeals. We can review assessment issues as part of your buying process or handle appeals after closing.
What documentation do you need for my commercial property appeal?
Commercial appeals require financial statements, lease information, and property condition details. We'll provide a specific checklist based on your property type and situation.
How often should I consider appealing my assessment?
Appeals should be based on legitimate over-assessment, not done automatically. We monitor assessment changes and recommend appeals when evidence supports potential reductions.
What happens if the Board of Revision denies my appeal?
You can appeal to the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals and potentially to court. We evaluate each case to determine if further appeals are justified by the evidence.
Do you offer payment plans for your services?
Payment arrangements can be discussed based on case complexity and client needs. We try to work with clients to make our services accessible while ensuring quality representation.
