Littorno Law Group

Littorno Law Group combines extensive legal expertise with deep understanding of California's complex property tax landscape. Our team has successfully reduced property tax assessments for hundreds of San Diego County property owners, saving them thousands of dollars annually. With over 15 years of experience in property tax law, we understand that every property is unique. Our attorneys and certified appraisers work together to identify overassessments and build compelling cases that stand up to county scrutiny. We don't just file paperwork - we craft strategic arguments that protect your investment.

Our comprehensive property tax services encompass the entire assessment review process. We begin with detailed property analysis, comparing your assessment to similar properties and current market conditions. Our team performs thorough valuation studies, utilizing multiple approaches including cost, sales comparison, and income methodologies where applicable. We handle all aspects of the formal appeal process, from initial filing to hearing representation. Our services extend beyond residential properties to include commercial, industrial, and mixed-use developments. We also provide ongoing assessment monitoring to catch future overassessments early. Additionally, we offer consultation on property tax implications for new construction, renovations, and ownership transfers. Our attorneys are well-versed in California's Proposition 13 rules and can advise on base year value transfers and other tax-saving strategies.

Our process starts with a comprehensive property evaluation at no cost to determine appeal viability. We analyze your current assessment, recent sales data, and property characteristics to identify potential savings. Once we accept your case, we gather extensive documentation including property records, comparable sales, and market data. We prepare detailed valuation reports and legal briefs supporting our position. Throughout the formal appeal process, we handle all communications with the assessor's office and represent you at hearings. Our attorneys present compelling evidence while you remain informed but unburdened by the technical complexities.
