Their size is an advantage here: you're dealing with experienced consultants who know your neighborhood, not a large firm routing your file through a call center.

How They Can Help

Premier Tax Solutions focuses on property tax assessment appeals for both residential and commercial property owners throughout Los Angeles County. Their residential services cover single-family homes, condos, and multi-unit properties up to four units. For larger residential and commercial properties, they conduct full income-approach and cost-approach analyses that challenge the Assessor's methodology at its core. They handle all phases of the appeal process, from the initial informal review request to full Assessment Appeals Board hearings. Their consultants prepare a comprehensive comparable sales analysis for every case, using data from the MLS and public records to identify the strongest comparables the county should have considered. Premier also offers Proposition 13 and Proposition 19 consulting, helping clients understand how transfers, inheritances, and base-year elections affect their tax liability. For new property buyers, they review supplemental assessments to catch overvaluations early. They also assist with calamity reassessments, which allow homeowners to request a temporary reduction if their property was damaged by fire, flood, or another qualifying event. Each engagement starts with a no-cost review of your current assessment.

What to Expect

Premier Tax Solutions starts every engagement with a free assessment review. They pull your county record, research recent comparable sales, and give you a straight opinion on whether an appeal is worth filing. If the numbers support a case, they explain the strategy and the fee structure before asking you to commit. Once retained, they prepare your full appeal package: comparable sales analysis, any income documentation for commercial properties, photographs, and supporting market data. They file with the appropriate board and handle all follow-up with the Assessor's office and the Assessment Appeals Board clerk. If an informal resolution is available, they pursue it first. Many cases in LA County resolve without a formal hearing, which saves months of waiting. If a hearing is required, they present your case directly to the board. After a successful outcome, they verify the corrected assessment appears on your next tax bill and ensure any refund you're owed is processed correctly.

Service Area

Premier Tax Solutions primarily serves Los Angeles County's South Bay region, including Torrance, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Palos Verdes Estates, Rolling Hills Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Lawndale, Hawthorne, and Carson. They also handle cases in other parts of LA County and will consider Orange County properties on request. Their local market knowledge is strongest in the coastal South Bay communities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time of year to start a property tax appeal?
The annual appeal window in California opens July 2nd and closes September 15th. Starting the process in early summer gives you time to gather documentation and file before the deadline. Supplemental assessment appeals have their own 60-day deadline from the notice date.
Can you appeal every year?
Yes, California law allows you to file an appeal every year during the open enrollment period. If market conditions change or your assessment creeps back up, you can challenge it again. Some clients appeal multiple years in a row until they get a base-year reduction locked in.
How does the contingency fee work exactly?
You pay nothing upfront. If Premier Tax Solutions successfully reduces your assessment, you pay a percentage of the tax savings from the first year only. After that, you keep the full savings going forward, which compounds if you have a Proposition 13 base-year reduction.
What's the difference between an informal review and a formal appeal?
An informal review is a direct request to the Assessor's office to reconsider your value before you file a formal appeal. It's faster and less formal. If the Assessor agrees, your case is resolved without a board hearing. If not, you can still file a formal appeal with the Assessment Appeals Board.
Can I appeal a commercial property I rent out?
Yes. Commercial property appeals are often based on income analysis, meaning the county should be valuing your property based on what it actually generates, not just comparable sales. If vacancy rates are high or rents have declined, that's relevant evidence for your appeal.
What happens if my appeal is denied?
If the board denies your appeal, you can't refile for the same tax year. However, you can appeal again in the next open enrollment period. You also have the option to pursue judicial review in Superior Court, though that's typically only cost-effective for very high-value properties.
Does Premier Tax Solutions handle appeals for inherited properties?
Yes. Inherited properties are a common appeal situation, especially when Proposition 19 changed the rules for parent-child transfers. They can help you understand what base-year value applies to your inherited property and whether a reassessment challenge makes sense.
How do I know the county actually corrects my assessment after a win?
Premier Tax Solutions verifies the correction by reviewing your updated tax bill after the board rules in your favor. They also follow up on any refund owed for overpaid taxes in prior years, which the county is required to issue after a successful appeal.
