How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services cover every aspect of assessment challenges and tax reduction strategies. We handle residential property tax appeals for single-family homes, condos, and investment properties, ensuring you're not overpaying on inflated assessments. For commercial clients, we manage complex appeals involving office buildings, retail centers, industrial properties, and multi-family developments. We conduct thorough property valuation analyses using comparable sales data, income approaches, and replacement cost methods. Our team prepares detailed assessment review reports that highlight discrepancies and support reduction requests. We also provide ongoing property tax consulting to help you understand exemptions, filing deadlines, and long-term tax planning strategies. Additionally, we represent clients at formal hearings before county assessment boards and provide expert testimony when needed.

What to Expect

Getting started is straightforward. First, we'll review your current property tax assessment and recent payment history during a free consultation. We'll analyze comparable properties, recent sales data, and assessment methodologies to identify potential grounds for appeal. Once we accept your case, we'll file all necessary paperwork within required deadlines and gather supporting documentation. We handle communications with the county assessor's office and prepare detailed evidence packages. If your case requires a formal hearing, we'll represent you throughout the process. You'll receive regular updates and won't pay attorney fees unless we achieve a reduction.

Service Area

We serve Charleston County, Berkeley County, and Dorchester County, covering Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville, North Charleston, and surrounding communities. Our deep knowledge of local assessment practices and market conditions in the tri-county area gives us a distinct advantage when challenging property valuations and pursuing tax reductions for our clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Look for sudden increases without corresponding improvements, or compare your assessment to similar properties. We provide free consultations to evaluate your case.
What's the deadline for filing an appeal?
In South Carolina, you typically have 90 days from the assessment notice date. Don't wait - contact us immediately if you suspect over-assessment.
How much can I save on property taxes?
Savings vary by case, but successful appeals often reduce assessments by 10-30%. We'll provide realistic expectations during your consultation.
Do you guarantee results?
We can't guarantee specific outcomes, but we only take cases where we see legitimate grounds for reduction. Our success rate exceeds 85%.
What documents do I need for an appeal?
Bring your assessment notice, recent tax bills, and any documentation of property conditions or comparable sales. We'll help gather additional evidence.
Can I appeal every year?
Yes, if you have grounds for appeal, but frivolous appeals may face penalties. We help determine when appeals are worthwhile.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals resolve within 3-6 months, though complex commercial cases may take longer. We keep you updated throughout.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
You're not worse off than before, and on contingency cases, you owe no attorney fees. We may identify strategies for future appeals.
