Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary based on assessment errors and market conditions. Typical residential appeals result in 10-30% reductions when successful. Commercial properties may see larger percentage savings due to valuation complexity.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
On contingency fee cases, you owe nothing if the appeal fails. We carefully evaluate cases before acceptance to maximize success probability. Unsuccessful appeals can sometimes be escalated to higher review levels.
How long does the property tax appeal process take?
Residential appeals typically resolve within 3-6 months. Commercial disputes may take 6-12 months depending on complexity and hearing schedules.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, property owners can appeal assessments annually if they believe the valuation is incorrect. However, repeated appeals without merit may face additional scrutiny from review boards.
What documentation do I need for an appeal?
Basic requirements include recent tax bills and property purchase information. We'll help gather additional evidence like comparable sales data and property condition documentation to support your case.
Do you handle appeals for commercial properties?
Yes, we specialize in complex commercial property tax disputes including office buildings, retail centers, and industrial facilities. Commercial cases often involve sophisticated valuation methodologies and higher potential savings.
What are the deadlines for filing property tax appeals?
Most Michigan appeals must be filed within 30 days of receiving assessment notices. Missing deadlines can eliminate appeal rights, so early consultation is recommended.
Will appealing my taxes affect my relationship with local assessors?
Professional appeals are routine business for assessors and don't create personal conflicts. We maintain positive working relationships with local officials while advocating aggressively for our clients.
