Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property taxes are too high?
Compare your assessment to recent sales of similar properties in your neighborhood. If your assessed value is significantly higher than market data suggests, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal?
Deadlines vary by county but are typically 25-30 days from when you receive your assessment notice. Missing this deadline means waiting until next year.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary based on the degree of overassessment and local tax rates. Typical reductions range from 10-30% of the assessed value, translating to hundreds or thousands in annual savings.
Do I need to hire a lawyer for a property tax appeal?
While not required, professional representation significantly improves your chances of success. The process involves complex valuation principles and legal procedures that benefit from expertise.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
With contingency pricing, you owe nothing if the appeal doesn't result in savings. You can also try again next year if circumstances change or new evidence becomes available.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can file an appeal annually if you believe your assessment is incorrect. However, it's most effective when you have new evidence or market conditions have changed.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals are resolved within 3-6 months, though complex commercial cases may take longer. The timeline depends on county workload and whether a formal hearing is required.
Will appealing my taxes affect my homestead exemption?
No, filing an assessment appeal won't impact your homestead exemption or other tax benefits. These are separate processes handled by different departments.
