Frequently Asked Questions

What are the chances my property tax appeal will be successful?
Success rates vary based on property type and market conditions, but experienced firms typically achieve reductions in 60-80% of cases they accept. Initial case evaluation helps determine viability before proceeding.
How much can I save on my property taxes?
Savings depend on the degree of overassessment and your property's millage rate. Reductions typically range from 5-25% of assessed value, translating to hundreds or thousands in annual tax savings.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
With contingency pricing, you owe no attorney fees if the appeal fails. Your property taxes remain at the current assessed level, and you can try again next year if circumstances change.
Do I need to attend the Value Adjustment Board hearing?
Attendance isn't usually required when you have professional representation. Your attorney will handle the hearing presentation and answer questions from board members on your behalf.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you have the right to appeal annually if you believe your assessment exceeds fair market value. However, successful appeals in previous years may make future appeals more challenging without new evidence.
What evidence is needed for a successful property tax appeal?
Strong appeals typically include comparable sales data, property condition reports, income and expense statements for commercial properties, and professional appraisals when warranted. Market evidence must be recent and relevant.
How long does the property tax appeal process take?
Most appeals are resolved within 3-6 months of filing. Complex commercial cases may take longer, while some residential appeals can be settled through informal negotiations with the county appraiser more quickly.
Will appealing my property taxes affect my homestead exemption?
No, filing a property tax appeal doesn't impact existing exemptions like homestead, senior, or disability exemptions. These remain in place regardless of assessment appeals.
