What to Expect

The process begins with a free consultation where they review your property assessment and tax history. They'll analyze your property's valuation against comparable sales and current market conditions to determine if an appeal is worthwhile. If they identify grounds for appeal, they'll gather evidence including recent sales data, property condition reports, and market analysis. They prepare and file all necessary paperwork with the appropriate tax authorities and represent you at hearings or negotiations. Throughout the process, they keep you informed of progress and handle all communication with assessors and hearing officers.

Service Area

Manji Law serves property owners throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area, with primary focus on Decatur, Atlanta, and surrounding DeKalb County communities. They also handle cases in Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb, and Clayton counties, representing clients from Buckhead to Stone Mountain and everywhere in between.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property assessment is too high?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher than comparable sales, you may have grounds for appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Georgia?
You typically have 45 days from the date of your assessment notice to file an appeal. Missing this deadline means waiting until the next assessment cycle.
Do you guarantee tax reductions?
No consultant can guarantee results, but we only take cases where we see realistic potential for reduction. Our contingency fee structure means we're invested in achieving results.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely depending on the case, but successful appeals often result in 10-30% reductions in assessed value. This translates to similar percentage reductions in annual tax bills.
Will appealing my assessment trigger an audit or higher taxes later?
Filing a legitimate appeal won't trigger penalties or audits. However, providing false information or making frivolous appeals can have consequences.
What documents do I need for a property tax appeal?
We'll help gather necessary documents, but typically need your assessment notice, recent sales comparables, property photos, and any relevant maintenance or repair records.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
You can appeal whenever you receive a new assessment notice. However, successful appeals in previous years don't guarantee future success unless circumstances change.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals are resolved within 3-6 months, though complex commercial cases can take up to a year. We'll keep you updated throughout the process.
