How They Can Help

Our property tax services cover the full spectrum of assessment challenges. We handle residential property tax appeals for homeowners facing sudden increases in assessed values, whether due to market fluctuations or assessor errors. For commercial clients, we manage complex appeals involving office buildings, retail centers, manufacturing facilities, and investment properties. We provide comprehensive valuation analysis using market data, comparable sales, and income approaches to determine accurate property values. Our team reviews assessment notices, identifies discrepancies, and prepares detailed appeals with supporting documentation. We also handle Board of Review hearings and Michigan Tax Tribunal cases when local appeals don't achieve satisfactory results. Additionally, we offer ongoing assessment monitoring services to catch potential issues before they become costly problems.

What to Expect

Your property tax appeal begins with a comprehensive review of your assessment and property details. We'll schedule an initial consultation to discuss your situation and examine recent assessment notices, comparable sales data, and property characteristics. Once we identify grounds for appeal, we'll prepare and file the necessary paperwork with local authorities within required deadlines. Our team handles all communication with assessors and presents your case at Board of Review hearings. If local appeals don't achieve adequate reductions, we'll evaluate options for Michigan Tax Tribunal proceedings and represent you throughout the process.

Service Area

We serve clients throughout Oakland County, Wayne County, and surrounding southeastern Michigan communities. Our Southfield office provides convenient access for clients in Detroit, Troy, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, and neighboring municipalities. We handle cases statewide when commercial properties or complex matters warrant our specialized expertise.
