How They Can Help

We provide comprehensive property tax appeal services covering every aspect of the reduction process. Our residential services include detailed property evaluations comparing your assessment to similar homes, market trend analysis, and identification of factors that may reduce your property's value. We examine everything from structural issues to neighborhood changes that assessors might have overlooked. For commercial properties, we conduct thorough income and expense analysis, market vacancy studies, and functional obsolescence evaluations. We prepare and file all necessary paperwork for Board of Review hearings and Michigan Tax Tribunal appeals, ensuring compliance with strict deadlines and procedural requirements. Our service includes professional representation at hearings, where we present evidence and argue for appropriate assessment reductions. We also provide ongoing monitoring services to catch future assessment problems before they become expensive mistakes.

What to Expect

We start with a comprehensive assessment review where we analyze your property's current valuation against market data and comparable properties. During this initial consultation, we identify potential grounds for appeal and explain the likelihood of success. If we proceed, we gather all necessary documentation including property records, sales data, and supporting evidence. Our team then prepares your appeal filing, ensuring all deadlines are met and required forms are properly completed. We coordinate with appraisers when needed and compile evidence packages that clearly demonstrate assessment errors or overvaluation. Throughout the hearing process, we represent your interests professionally while keeping you informed of progress. After resolution, we provide detailed documentation of results and recommendations for future assessment monitoring.

Service Area

We serve property owners throughout Wayne, Oakland, and Washtenaw counties from our Northville location. Our coverage area includes Detroit, Livonia, Plymouth, Canton, and surrounding communities. We have extensive experience with assessment practices in these counties and maintain current knowledge of local market conditions that affect property values.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the chances of a successful property tax appeal?
Success rates vary by property type and local conditions, but we achieve meaningful reductions in approximately 70-80% of cases we accept. We provide honest assessments of your appeal prospects during initial consultations.
How do you determine if my property is over-assessed?
We compare your assessment to recent sales of similar properties, analyze market trends, and review your property's specific characteristics. Significant variations from market norms typically indicate appeal potential.
Can I appeal if I recently bought my property?
Yes, recent purchase prices often provide strong evidence for appeals if your assessment exceeds what you paid. This is particularly effective if you bought the property at fair market value.
What's the difference between Board of Review and Tax Tribunal appeals?
Board of Review is the local-level appeal process with less formal procedures. Tax Tribunal appeals are formal state-level proceedings with more detailed evidence requirements and legal procedures.
Do you handle appeals for condominiums and townhomes?
Yes, we handle appeals for all residential property types including condos, townhomes, and single-family homes. Each property type has specific valuation considerations we address in our analysis.
How much documentation do I need to provide?
We need basic property information and recent tax bills to start. We handle gathering most supporting evidence including comparable sales data and market analysis for your appeal.
Will my taxes definitely go down if I appeal?
While we can't guarantee specific outcomes, successful appeals typically result in reduced assessments and lower tax bills. We only recommend appeals when we identify legitimate grounds for reductions.
Can you help with future assessments after my appeal?
We offer ongoing monitoring services to review future assessments and identify potential problems early. This helps prevent over-assessment issues from recurring in subsequent years.
