How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services start with thorough assessment reviews to identify potential overvaluations. We conduct detailed market analyses comparing your property to similar sales and rentals in your area. When we find evidence of overassessment, we prepare and file formal appeals with the appropriate assessment appeals boards. We handle every aspect of the appeals process, from initial documentation to hearing representation. Our team prepares compelling evidence packages that include comparable property analyses, appraisals when necessary, and detailed arguments supporting reduced assessments. We also provide ongoing property tax monitoring services to catch assessment increases early and evaluate whether appeals make financial sense. For commercial properties, we offer specialized valuation services that consider income approaches, market conditions, and property-specific factors that assessors might overlook.

What to Expect

Our process begins with a free consultation where we review your property assessment and recent tax bills. We analyze your property's characteristics, recent sales data, and current market conditions to determine if an appeal is warranted. If we identify potential savings, we'll explain our findings and recommended strategy. Once you engage our services, we handle all paperwork, deadlines, and communications with assessment offices. We prepare comprehensive appeal packages and represent you at hearings when necessary. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and explain any decisions or settlements reached on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
Signs include recent comparable sales being lower than your assessed value, or your assessment increasing significantly more than market conditions would support. We can provide a free analysis to determine if an appeal makes sense.
What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals?
In California, you generally have until September 15th to file appeals for the current tax year. However, there are exceptions for certain circumstances, so it's important to act quickly when you suspect overassessment.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely depending on the degree of overassessment and property characteristics. We've achieved reductions ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands of dollars annually for our clients.
Do you charge upfront fees for appeals?
Most residential appeals are handled on contingency, meaning no upfront fees. You pay only if we achieve savings, typically 35-50% of the first year's tax reduction.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can file appeals annually if you believe your assessment is incorrect. However, we recommend appeals only when there's strong evidence of overvaluation to ensure cost-effectiveness.
What happens if my appeal is denied?
If the initial appeal is denied, there may be additional levels of appeal available. We'll evaluate whether pursuing further appeals makes financial sense based on the strength of your case.
How long does the appeals process take?
Most appeals are resolved within 3-6 months of filing. The timeline depends on the assessment appeals board's schedule and whether hearings are required.
Will appealing my property taxes affect my ability to sell?
No, filing a property tax appeal won't impact your ability to sell your property. In fact, lower property taxes can make your property more attractive to potential buyers.
