How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services include formal assessment appeals, informal review requests, and valuation analysis. We handle residential property tax protests for homeowners facing unexpected assessment increases. For commercial clients, we provide detailed market analysis and comparable sales research to support reduction requests. We also offer ongoing assessment monitoring services, alerting you to significant valuation changes before they impact your tax bill. Our team prepares all necessary documentation, including property condition reports, income and expense statements, and market studies. We represent clients at county board hearings and provide expert testimony when needed. Additionally, we assist with exemption applications for qualified properties and review assessment methodologies to identify potential errors or inconsistencies in county valuations.

What to Expect

We start with a free consultation to review your property assessment and tax history. If we identify potential for reduction, we'll conduct a detailed property analysis and market study. Our team prepares and submits all appeal documentation within required deadlines. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and next steps. We represent you at hearings and negotiate with county officials on your behalf. Most appeals resolve within 3-6 months, though complex commercial cases may take longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a property tax appeal take?
Most appeals resolve within 3-6 months. Complex commercial cases or state-level appeals may take up to a year.
What are my chances of winning?
Our success rate is about 75% for formal appeals. Success depends on assessment accuracy and available evidence.
Do I pay if my appeal fails?
No, residential clients pay only when we achieve tax reductions. Commercial cases may have different fee structures.
Can I appeal every year?
Yes, you can appeal annually if you believe your assessment is incorrect. However, successful appeals in one year don't guarantee future success.
What evidence helps my case?
Recent comparable sales, property condition issues, income and expense data for rentals, and assessment errors all strengthen appeals.
Will appealing trigger an audit?
Property tax appeals don't trigger income tax audits. These are separate processes handled by different agencies.
Can I appeal if I just bought my property?
Yes, purchase price can be evidence of market value, especially if you bought recently at fair market terms.
What happens if the county raises my assessment?
Counties rarely increase assessments during appeals unless they discover unreported improvements or data errors.
