Frequently Asked Questions

What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal?
Generally 30 days from the date your assessment notice was mailed. Missing this deadline typically means waiting until next year to appeal.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely based on property type and over-assessment degree. Residential appeals often achieve 5-15% reductions while commercial cases may see larger savings.
Do I need to pay upfront fees?
Most appeals work on contingency basis where you pay only if we achieve savings. Consultation and exemption services typically require flat fees.
Will appealing my taxes trigger an audit or increase scrutiny?
No, appeals are routine processes and won't trigger additional reviews. Appraisal districts expect property owners to exercise their appeal rights.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most cases resolve within 3-6 months from filing. Complex commercial cases may take longer if additional evidence gathering is required.
Can I appeal if my taxes only increased slightly?
Yes, even small percentage increases may represent significant overassessments worth appealing. We evaluate each case individually regardless of increase size.
What happens if we don't win the appeal?
Under contingency arrangements, you owe no fees if we don't achieve tax reductions. Your current assessment remains in place without penalty.
Should I attend the appraisal review board hearing?
While not required, property owner attendance can be helpful. We'll prepare you for testimony if you choose to participate in the hearing process.
