Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I save on my property taxes?
Savings vary by property, but successful residential appeals typically save $200-$2,000 annually. Commercial properties can see much larger reductions depending on the assessed value and degree of overvaluation.
What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals in Utah?
You must file appeals within 45 days of receiving your assessment notice, typically by September 15th. Missing this deadline means waiting another year to appeal.
Do I have to attend hearings for my property tax appeal?
No, we handle all hearing appearances on your behalf. You can attend if you'd like, but it's not required.
What if my appeal is unsuccessful?
If we handle your case on contingency and the appeal is unsuccessful, you owe no attorney fees. We also provide guidance on whether to pursue higher-level appeals.
How long does the property tax appeal process take?
Most appeals resolve within 3-6 months. Complex commercial cases may take longer depending on the evidence required and hearing schedules.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can appeal annually if you believe your assessment is too high. However, we only recommend appeals when there's a reasonable chance of success.
What evidence do you need to support my appeal?
We gather comparable sales data, property condition reports, and market analysis. For commercial properties, we may also review income and expense data.
Will appealing my taxes affect my homeowner's insurance or mortgage?
No, property tax appeals don't affect insurance or mortgage terms. Successfully reducing your assessment actually lowers your total housing costs.
