The recovery process starts with comprehensive analysis of your property's assessment history, typically reviewing 3-5 years of tax records to identify patterns of over-assessment. They compare your property's assessment trends against market data and similar properties to quantify potential overpayments. Once they identify recovery opportunities, they develop a strategic approach that may include current year appeals, historical review requests, and refund applications where applicable. They handle all documentation, filing requirements, and negotiations with assessment authorities. Their systematic tracking ensures deadlines are met and follow-up actions are completed. The process emphasizes maximizing total recovery including both future savings and historical refunds when possible.
