How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax consulting covers residential tax protests, commercial property tax appeals, and assessment reviews for all property types. We handle everything from single-family homes to multi-million dollar commercial complexes, shopping centers, and industrial facilities. Our valuation analysis service provides detailed market comparisons, property condition assessments, and income approach calculations for investment properties. We also offer pre-assessment consulting to help property owners understand their rights before tax bills arrive. Our team prepares all necessary documentation, including comparable sales reports, cost approach analyses, and income statements for rental properties. For commercial clients, we provide specialized services for office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, and mixed-use developments throughout the Pittsburgh metropolitan area.

What to Expect

Your property tax appeal begins with a comprehensive property evaluation and assessment review. We'll examine your current tax assessment, research recent comparable sales, and identify potential grounds for appeal. Our team then prepares a detailed valuation report with supporting documentation. Next, we file the formal appeal with the appropriate county board and represent you throughout the hearing process. We present evidence professionally and handle all communication with assessors. Most cases resolve within 60-90 days, though complex commercial properties may take longer.

Service Area

We serve all of Allegheny County including Pittsburgh, Bethel Park, Mount Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, and surrounding municipalities. Our coverage extends to Westmoreland, Washington, and Butler counties for larger commercial properties. We're familiar with each jurisdiction's specific appeal procedures and assessment practices, giving clients a significant advantage in their tax reduction efforts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Compare your assessment to similar properties in your neighborhood and recent sales. If your assessment significantly exceeds market value or comparable properties, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal?
Deadlines vary by municipality but typically range from 30-60 days after receiving your assessment notice. Missing this deadline means waiting until the next assessment cycle.
Will appealing my taxes make the county audit me?
No, filing an appeal is a normal process and won't trigger additional scrutiny. Counties handle thousands of appeals annually as part of regular business.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely depending on the degree of over-assessment. Typical successful appeals result in 10-30% reductions, though some cases achieve larger savings.
Do you guarantee results?
We can't guarantee specific outcomes, but our contingency fee structure means you don't pay unless we achieve savings. We carefully screen cases to take only those with good prospects for success.
Can I appeal my taxes every year?
You can only appeal during designated appeal periods following new assessments or reassessments. Most areas don't allow annual appeals unless circumstances significantly change.
What evidence do you need for a commercial property appeal?
We typically need lease agreements, operating statements, recent sales data, property condition reports, and any factors affecting income or marketability. Our team will guide you through the documentation process.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most residential appeals resolve within 60-90 days. Commercial properties may take 90-180 days depending on complexity and hearing schedules.
