Services
How They Can Help
We offer comprehensive property tax services tailored to both residential and commercial clients. Our residential services include assessment appeals, homeowner exemption applications, and senior/disability deferral programs. We also handle manufactured home assessments and mobile home park valuations that require specialized knowledge. For commercial clients, we provide complex valuation analysis using all three approaches to value: market, cost, and income methods. Our commercial expertise covers office buildings, retail centers, warehouses, apartments, and special-use properties. We also handle business personal property appeals and can coordinate multi-property portfolio appeals for efficiency and consistency across your holdings.
What to Expect
We start with a complimentary assessment review to evaluate your case's merit and potential savings. If we proceed, we'll conduct a detailed property inspection and market analysis to identify all factors supporting a lower valuation. Our team prepares comprehensive appeal packages with supporting documentation, comparable sales data, and expert opinions when needed. We handle all filing requirements and deadlines, representing you at hearings if necessary. Most clients receive updates every 2-3 weeks throughout the process, and we provide detailed explanations of hearing outcomes and next steps.
Service Area
Our primary service area encompasses Seattle, King County, Pierce County, and select areas of Snohomish County. We're particularly active in Seattle's urban neighborhoods, Eastside communities including Bellevue and Redmond, and South King County cities. Our team knows each jurisdiction's assessment practices and has established relationships with local hearing officers that benefit our clients.
