How They Can Help

The firm provides comprehensive property tax appeal services starting with detailed assessment reviews to identify overvaluations. Their commercial property tax consulting covers office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, and multi-family developments. They handle residential tax protests for single-family homes, condominiums, and investment properties throughout Fulton, DeKalb, and surrounding counties. Valuation analysis forms the foundation of their approach. They work with certified appraisers to establish fair market values and identify assessment errors. The team prepares detailed appeals packages including comparable property analyses, income approach valuations for commercial properties, and documentation of property condition issues that may affect value. They represent clients at county board of appeals hearings and superior court proceedings when necessary. Additional services include tax exemption applications for qualifying properties and ongoing assessment monitoring to catch future overvaluations early.

What to Expect

The consultation process begins with a comprehensive review of your property's assessment history and current tax bill. Their team analyzes recent sales data, property characteristics, and assessment methodologies to determine appeal viability. Once they identify grounds for appeal, they'll prepare a detailed case file including valuation evidence and legal arguments. The formal appeal gets filed within Georgia's strict deadlines, typically by April 1st for the current tax year. They'll represent you at the county board of appeals hearing, presenting evidence and advocating for a fair assessment. If the initial appeal isn't successful, they can pursue the case in superior court for a more formal legal proceeding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of properties do you handle appeals for?
We handle both residential and commercial property appeals including single-family homes, condos, office buildings, retail properties, and industrial facilities. Our experience covers properties throughout the Atlanta metro area.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Tax savings vary significantly based on your property's current assessment and market conditions. Successful appeals typically achieve 10-30% reductions in assessed value, translating to similar percentage decreases in annual tax bills.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal?
In Georgia, property tax appeals must generally be filed by April 1st of the tax year. Some counties may have different deadlines, so it's important to contact us well before this date to ensure proper filing.
Do you work on contingency for property tax appeals?
Yes, we typically offer contingency fee arrangements where you pay only if we achieve tax reductions. Fees are generally 25-40% of first-year savings, with specific terms depending on case complexity.
How long does the appeal process take?
County-level appeals typically take 3-6 months from filing to resolution. If we need to pursue the case in superior court, the process can extend to 12-18 months depending on court schedules.
What evidence do you need for my property tax appeal?
We'll need your current tax assessment, recent appraisals if available, and information about your property's condition. We'll gather additional evidence including comparable sales data and expert valuations as needed.
Can you help with commercial property tax appeals?
Yes, we have extensive experience with commercial property appeals including office buildings, retail centers, and industrial properties. These cases often require detailed income and expense analysis along with market valuation studies.
What happens if my initial appeal isn't successful?
If the county board of appeals doesn't provide adequate relief, we can pursue your case in superior court. This involves more formal legal proceedings but can result in greater tax reductions for strong cases.
