How They Can Help

The firm offers comprehensive property tax appeal services including assessment review and analysis, formal protest filing, and representation before tax assessment boards. They handle residential property appeals for homeowners facing inflated assessments and commercial property tax challenges for business owners dealing with complex valuation issues. Additional services include valuation analysis to identify over-assessments, exemption applications for qualifying properties, and ongoing tax planning strategies. They also provide consultation on property improvements and their tax implications. The team reviews assessment methodologies, compares similar properties, and builds strong cases based on market data and legal precedent.

What to Expect

The process begins with a free consultation to review your property assessment and tax history. They'll analyze comparable sales data, review assessment records, and identify potential grounds for appeal within the strict filing deadlines. Once retained, they handle all paperwork and filings with the property appraiser's office and value adjustment board. They prepare detailed evidence packages, schedule hearings, and represent you throughout the appeal process. Most cases resolve without requiring your personal appearance, though they'll prepare you if testimony is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the deadline to file a property tax appeal?
Appeals must be filed within 25 days of receiving your TRIM notice, typically by late July or early August. Missing this deadline means waiting until the following year.
What are my chances of success?
Success depends on evidence supporting your property's lower value. Properties with recent sales data, physical issues, or market changes have higher success rates.
How much can I save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely, but successful appeals typically achieve 10-40% reductions in assessed value, translating to similar tax savings. The firm's average reduction is 15-30% for qualifying properties.
Do I have to appear at a hearing?
Most appeals settle through negotiation without formal hearings. If a hearing is required, they'll represent you and prepare you for any required testimony.
What evidence do I need for my appeal?
Recent comparable sales, purchase documents, property condition photos, and any professional appraisals. They'll help gather and organize evidence for your case.
Can I appeal every year?
Yes, you can appeal annually if you believe your assessment is too high. However, each appeal must be based on current evidence and market conditions.
What if my property value has increased?
Appeals focus on whether the assessed value exceeds fair market value, not whether values have increased. Even appreciating properties can be over-assessed and eligible for reduction.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most residential appeals resolve within 3-6 months, while complex commercial appeals may take 6-8 months. The process includes negotiation periods before formal hearings if needed.
