How They Can Help

Their property tax services focus on residential assessments, particularly in newer developments and custom homes where assessment practices often lag behind market realities. They provide detailed cost analysis comparing actual construction expenses with assessed values, often revealing significant overassessments. Services include assessment reviews for single-family homes, condominiums, and vacant land. They're particularly effective with new construction appeals, helping homeowners whose assessments don't reflect market conditions or construction delays. Their development background helps identify assessment errors related to lot premiums, finished basements, and upgrade valuations. They also assist with homestead exemption applications and appeals, ensuring homeowners receive all available tax benefits. For investment properties, they provide market analysis showing how rental income potential should impact assessed values.

What to Expect

Your consultation begins with a comprehensive review of your property's assessment against actual construction costs and local market conditions. They'll examine your building permits, construction contracts, and any relevant documentation to build a strong case for reassessment. If they identify potential savings, they'll prepare detailed cost breakdowns and market analysis to support your appeal. Their real estate expertise helps them gather compelling comparable sales data and market evidence. They handle all filing requirements and deadlines with local assessors. Most residential appeals are resolved through informal review processes, avoiding the need for formal hearings while achieving significant tax reductions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose a developer for property tax consulting?
Developers understand actual construction costs, land values, and market conditions from hands-on experience. This provides unique insights into what properties should actually be worth versus what assessors estimate.
Do you only handle new construction appeals?
While new construction is our specialty, we also handle appeals for existing homes, particularly in developments where we have market knowledge and comparable sales data.
How soon after building should I have my assessment reviewed?
We recommend reviewing assessments within the first year after completion. Early review can prevent ongoing overassessment issues and establish proper baseline valuations.
What documentation do I need for a new construction appeal?
Bring building permits, construction contracts, upgrade invoices, and any documentation showing actual costs. We'll help identify what additional evidence might strengthen your case.
Can you help with assessments in other counties?
Our primary service area is Oakland and Livingston counties where we have extensive market knowledge. We may consider select cases in western Wayne County on a case-by-case basis.
What if my assessment seems reasonable but I want to be sure?
We provide free initial reviews to determine if appeals have merit. Even reasonable-seeming assessments sometimes contain errors that result in significant overpayment.
Do you handle commercial property appeals?
Our focus is primarily residential properties, but we may consider small commercial projects in areas where we have development experience and market knowledge.
How do development phases affect property assessments?
Multi-phase developments can create assessment inconsistencies as market conditions change and comparable sales data varies between phases. We monitor these patterns and identify resulting appeal opportunities.
