Marissa Sirota Law offers comprehensive property tax services tailored to each client's specific needs and circumstances. Our primary focus is assessment appeals, where we challenge overvalued properties before county assessment appeals boards. We provide complete representation including case analysis, evidence preparation, filing, and hearing representation. Our services include residential property appeals for single-family homes, condominiums, and multi-family properties, as well as commercial appeals for office buildings, retail centers, and investment properties. We handle supplemental assessment challenges when properties are reassessed due to ownership changes or new construction. We also assist with Proposition 8 temporary reductions for properties affected by declining market values. Additionally, we provide assessment consultation services, helping property owners understand their rights and options before problems arise. Our practice includes purchase price appeals for recently acquired properties assessed above their sales price, and we can provide expert witness services for litigation involving property valuations.

Our appeals process starts with a detailed consultation to understand your property and concerns. We review your assessment notices, property characteristics, and market conditions to determine appeal viability. When we identify overassessment, we conduct thorough market research using multiple data sources to build a compelling case for reduction. We prepare comprehensive evidence packages including comparable sales analysis, market studies, and property-specific factors that support lower valuations. Our team handles all procedural requirements and deadlines, ensuring your appeal is properly filed and documented. We represent you at appeals board hearings, presenting clear, organized arguments supported by solid evidence. Throughout the process, we maintain regular communication and provide updates on case progress and expected timelines.

Our practice serves Davis, Woodland, West Sacramento, and surrounding Yolo County communities, as well as western Sacramento County. We're familiar with assessment practices in both Yolo and Sacramento counties and understand the regional market factors that affect property values. Our local focus allows us to provide personalized service and maintain strong relationships with county assessment offices.
