Law Offices of Maynard & Hogan

The Law Offices of Maynard & Hogan has been serving San Jose property owners for over two decades, specializing in property tax appeals and assessment challenges. Our team understands that property taxes represent one of your largest annual expenses, and we're committed to ensuring you're not overpaying. We've successfully reduced property tax assessments for thousands of clients throughout Santa Clara County. Our approach combines thorough market analysis with aggressive advocacy to challenge inflated assessments and secure meaningful reductions for residential and commercial property owners.

Our comprehensive property tax services include assessment appeals, market value challenges, and ongoing tax reduction strategies. We handle everything from initial assessment reviews to formal appeals before local assessment boards. Our team conducts detailed property valuations using comparable sales data, income analysis, and cost approaches to build compelling cases for tax reductions. We also provide consultation on new construction assessments, supplemental tax bills, and Proposition 8 temporary reductions. For commercial clients, we offer specialized services including business personal property appeals, split-roll analysis, and multi-county coordination. Our proactive monitoring service alerts clients to assessment changes and identifies opportunities for appeals before deadlines pass.

Our process begins with a free assessment review where we analyze your property's current valuation against market conditions and comparable sales. If we identify potential for reduction, we'll research recent sales data, inspect your property, and prepare a comprehensive appeal package. We handle all paperwork, deadlines, and hearing appearances on your behalf. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and strategy adjustments. Our contingency fee structure means you only pay if we achieve a reduction, aligning our interests with your success.

We serve all of Santa Clara County, including San Jose, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, and Campbell. Our local expertise gives us deep insight into neighborhood market conditions and assessor practices. We're familiar with each jurisdiction's specific procedures and have established relationships with local assessment boards and hearing officers.
