Our team conducts thorough property valuations, market analysis, and comparable sales research to build strong cases for assessment reductions. We handle residential property protests for homeowners facing excessive valuations, as well as complex commercial property appeals involving office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, and multi-family properties. Our services extend to property tax planning and consultation, helping clients understand their assessment process and identify opportunities for future appeals.

Additionally, we offer ongoing monitoring services to track annual assessments and recommend appeal strategies when market conditions or property circumstances change.

Frequently Asked Questions

What percentage of property tax appeals are successful?
Our firm achieves assessment reductions in over 85% of cases we handle. Success rates vary based on property type and assessment accuracy, but most appeals result in some level of tax savings.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely based on the degree of over-assessment, but typical reductions range from 10-30% of the assessed value. Commercial properties often see larger absolute savings due to higher values.
Will appealing my assessment cause problems with the appraisal district?
No, filing an appeal is your legal right and won't negatively impact future assessments. Appraisal districts handle thousands of appeals annually as part of their normal operations.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
If your appeal is unsuccessful, your assessment remains unchanged and you owe no attorney fees under our contingency arrangement. You can appeal again in future years if circumstances change.
How long does the property tax appeal process take?
Most appeals are resolved within 3-6 months through the appraisal review board process. Complex cases requiring court action may take 12-18 months to fully resolve.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you have the right to appeal your assessment annually if you believe it's excessive. However, repeated appeals without new evidence may be less effective.
What evidence do you need for my appeal?
We gather recent comparable sales, property condition reports, photographs, and market analysis data. You should provide any information about property defects, market conditions, or unique circumstances affecting value.
Do you handle appeals for all types of properties?
