How They Can Help

We offer complete property tax consulting services including assessment analysis, formal appeals representation, and ongoing tax monitoring. Our residential services cover single-family homes, condominiums, townhouses, and multi-family properties. We analyze your property's assessed value against current market conditions and comparable sales to identify overassessments warranting formal challenges. Commercial property owners benefit from our sophisticated valuation analysis including income approach calculations, operating expense reviews, and market comparison studies. We handle appeals for office buildings, retail properties, industrial facilities, apartment complexes, and specialized properties. Our valuation experts prepare detailed reports supporting assessment reductions based on actual market conditions rather than outdated county data. We also provide pre-purchase tax analysis for property buyers and assessment impact studies for property improvements or renovations.

What to Expect

We begin each engagement with a comprehensive property assessment review, analyzing your current valuation against market data and comparable properties. This initial analysis determines the potential for successful appeals and estimated tax savings. We provide detailed reports explaining assessment discrepancies and our recommended approach. Once you engage our services, we prepare and file all necessary appeals documentation within required deadlines. We handle informal negotiations with county auditors first, often resolving cases without formal hearings. When formal appeals become necessary, we represent you before the Board of Revision with comprehensive evidence packages including market analysis, property inspections, and expert testimony when required. We manage all communications and keep you informed throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a property assessment appealable?
Properties assessed above current market value, those with incorrect property characteristics in county records, or properties affected by market conditions not reflected in the assessment are typically good candidates for appeals. We provide free initial assessments to determine appeal viability.
How long does the property tax appeal process take?
Most residential appeals resolve within 3-5 months from filing to final decision. Commercial appeals can take 6-8 months due to their complexity and the need for detailed valuation analysis.
Can you help with appeals in multiple counties?
Yes, we regularly handle appeals throughout central Ohio including Franklin, Delaware, Union, Licking, and surrounding counties. Our team is familiar with each county's specific procedures and requirements.
What happens if my appeal reduces my neighbor's property values?
Individual appeals don't automatically affect neighboring properties. Each property is assessed independently, and your successful appeal won't trigger reassessments of similar properties unless they file their own appeals.
Do I need to be present for appeal hearings?
No, we handle all aspects of formal hearings including presenting evidence and arguments. Your presence isn't required, though you're welcome to attend if you prefer.
How often can I appeal my property assessment?
You can file appeals annually if circumstances warrant, though significant changes typically occur only during triennial reappraisal years or when major market shifts affect property values substantially.
Will a successful appeal affect my mortgage or property insurance?
Assessment reductions don't affect your mortgage principal or insurance coverage, which are based on market value rather than assessed value. However, lower taxes can reduce your monthly escrow payments.
What documentation do you need to start an appeal?
We typically need your current property tax statement, deed information, and any recent appraisals or inspections. We handle gathering market data, comparable sales, and other supporting documentation independently.
