How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services include assessment review and analysis, formal appeals preparation, Michigan Tax Tribunal representation, and valuation dispute resolution. We handle residential properties of all sizes, from single-family homes to luxury estates, as well as commercial properties including office buildings, retail spaces, industrial facilities, and multi-family developments. We provide detailed market comparisons, property condition assessments, and income analysis for commercial properties. Our consultants prepare all necessary documentation, attend hearings on your behalf, and negotiate directly with assessors. We also offer preventive services, reviewing assessments annually to catch problems early. For complex cases involving environmental issues, functional obsolescence, or unique property characteristics, we work with certified appraisers and industry experts to build compelling cases for tax reduction.

What to Expect

Your property tax reduction journey starts with a free consultation where we review your current assessment and tax bills. We'll analyze recent sales data, inspect your property if needed, and provide an honest assessment of your chances for reduction. If we identify potential savings, we'll prepare and file your appeal within required deadlines. We handle all paperwork, evidence gathering, and communication with local assessors. For cases proceeding to formal hearings, we represent you before assessment boards or the Michigan Tax Tribunal. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and strategy adjustments.

Service Area

We serve Farmington Hills and throughout Oakland County, including Birmingham, Troy, Rochester Hills, and West Bloomfield. Our consultants are familiar with assessment practices across multiple townships and cities, giving us insight into local trends and successful appeal strategies. We also handle select cases in Wayne and Macomb counties.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
We'll compare your assessment to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If comparable properties sold for significantly less than your assessed value, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Michigan?
Most appeals must be filed by the second Tuesday in March following the tax year. However, some circumstances allow for later appeals, so contact us even if you think you've missed the deadline.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely based on your specific situation. Our successful appeals typically achieve 15-40% reductions in taxable value, translating to similar percentage savings on your tax bill.
Do I need to pay anything upfront?
For most standard appeals, we work on pure contingency with no upfront fees. You pay only if we successfully reduce your taxes, and then only a percentage of the first year's savings.
Will appealing my taxes hurt my property value?
No, tax appeals are based on current market value and don't affect your property's actual worth or future salability. Appeals simply ensure you're not paying taxes on inflated assessments.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals are resolved within 3-6 months. Complex cases that go to the Michigan Tax Tribunal may take up to a year, but you'll see tax savings retroactively once the case is decided.
Can you appeal commercial property taxes?
Yes, we handle all types of commercial properties including office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, and apartment complexes. Commercial appeals often involve income analysis and specialized valuation methods.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
If we don't achieve any tax reduction, you owe us nothing under our contingency arrangement. Your taxes remain at the current level, and you can try again next year if circumstances change.
