Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property assessment is too high?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is 10-15% higher than comparable sales, you may have grounds for appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Washington?
Appeals must be filed within 30 days of receiving your assessment notice. Missing this deadline means waiting until next year.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Successful appeals typically result in 10-30% reductions in assessed value, translating to proportional tax savings. Results vary based on individual property circumstances.
Do I need to attend the appeal hearing?
While your presence can be helpful, experienced representation can handle most hearings effectively. You'll be consulted on strategy and kept informed throughout the process.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
You can appeal to the State Board of Tax Appeals if new evidence emerges. Most contingency fee agreements include pursuing higher-level appeals when warranted.
How long does the appeal process take?
County-level appeals typically resolve within 3-4 months. State-level appeals can take 6-12 months but may achieve larger reductions.
Can I appeal every year if my assessment keeps increasing?
Yes, you can file annual appeals if you believe assessments exceed market value. However, repeated unsuccessful appeals may face increased scrutiny.
What documentation do I need for my appeal?
Recent comparable sales, photos of property conditions, repair estimates, and income/expense records for commercial properties. Professional representation handles most documentation gathering.
