How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services encompass every aspect of assessment challenges and tax reduction strategies. We conduct detailed property assessments to identify overvaluations, prepare and file formal appeals with local assessment review boards, and represent clients throughout the entire appeals process. Our team analyzes comparable sales data, reviews assessment methodologies, and challenges incorrect property classifications that often lead to inflated tax bills. We also provide ongoing assessment monitoring services, alerting clients to reassessment opportunities and potential tax savings. Our commercial property expertise includes specialized knowledge of income approach valuations, vacancy factors, and market rent analysis. For residential properties, we focus on sales comparison approaches and property condition assessments that assessors may have overlooked.

What to Expect

Our proven four-step process begins with a comprehensive property evaluation and assessment review to identify potential overvaluations. We analyze your current assessment against recent comparable sales, market conditions, and property-specific factors that may warrant a reduction. Next, we prepare detailed appeal documentation including property inspection reports, market analysis, and supporting evidence. Our team then files formal appeals with appropriate assessment review boards and represents you throughout hearings. Finally, we monitor ongoing assessments to identify future appeal opportunities and ensure your property maintains fair market valuation.

Service Area

We serve property owners throughout San Francisco County, including all neighborhoods from Pacific Heights to the Mission District. Our coverage extends to nearby counties including San Mateo, Marin, and select areas of Alameda County. We're licensed to practice before all local assessment review boards in our service territory.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
Signs include recent comparable sales significantly below your assessment, property condition issues not reflected in valuation, or assessments that increased dramatically without corresponding improvements. We provide free initial consultations to evaluate potential overvaluations.
What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals in California?
Appeals must be filed by November 30th following the year of assessment, or within 60 days of receiving a supplemental assessment. Missing deadlines means waiting until the next assessment cycle.
How much can I expect to save on property taxes?
Savings vary based on individual circumstances, but our successful appeals average 15-25% reductions. Some cases achieve larger savings while others may result in smaller adjustments or no change.
Do I have to pay upfront for appeal services?
Most residential appeals are handled on contingency basis - you only pay if we achieve savings. Commercial properties may require upfront fees depending on complexity and scope of work required.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
If your appeal is unsuccessful, you owe no fees under our contingency arrangement. However, your current assessment remains in place, and you'd need to wait for the next assessment cycle to appeal again.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can file appeals annually if you believe your property is overassessed. However, successful appeals require new evidence or changed market conditions to justify reductions.
How long does the appeals process take?
Residential appeals typically take 4-8 months from filing to resolution. Commercial appeals may take 6-12 months due to complexity and potential for multiple hearings.
What evidence do you use to support appeals?
We use recent comparable sales, property inspection findings, market analysis, income and expense data for commercial properties, and documentation of any factors affecting value like deferred maintenance or functional issues.
