Frequently Asked Questions

What's the deadline for property tax appeals in Montgomery County?
Appeals must be filed within 30 days of receiving your assessment notice. Missing this deadline eliminates your appeal rights for that tax year.
How do you determine if my assessment is too high?
We analyze your assessed value against comparable sales, current market conditions, and property-specific factors. Professional market analysis often reveals overvaluations not obvious to property owners.
Can foreign property owners appeal their assessments?
Yes, property ownership rights include appeal rights regardless of citizenship status. We specialize in helping international owners navigate the appeals process effectively.
What evidence strengthens property tax appeals?
Strong appeals typically include recent appraisals, comparable sales data, property condition documentation, and market analysis. Legal arguments challenging assessor methodology can also be effective.
How long do property tax appeals take?
Most residential appeals resolve within 3-6 months. Commercial appeals often take 6-12 months due to complex valuation issues and detailed evidence requirements.
What are the risks of appealing my property taxes?
Appeals rarely result in higher assessments if handled professionally. The primary risk is time and cost investment, which we minimize through careful case evaluation before proceeding.
Can I appeal multiple years of assessments?
You can only appeal the current year's assessment, but patterns of overvaluation help support your current appeal. We track assessment trends to identify ongoing problems.
Do successful appeals affect future assessments?
Reduced assessments typically become the baseline for future years, though assessors can increase values based on market changes or property improvements.
