How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services cover every aspect of assessment disputes and tax reduction strategies. We handle residential tax protests for homeowners who've seen unexpected increases in their property valuations. Our commercial property tax practice focuses on office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, and multi-family properties where assessment errors are common. We provide detailed valuation analysis comparing your property to similar sales and market conditions. Our assessment review process examines county records for calculation errors, improper classifications, and inflated valuations. We represent clients before county boards of revision and handle appeals to the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals when necessary. Additionally, we offer ongoing tax planning consultation to help property owners understand their rights and identify potential savings opportunities before assessments become final.

What to Expect

Your journey starts with a free property assessment review where we analyze your current tax situation and identify potential savings. We'll examine your property records, recent sales data, and assessment methodology to determine if an appeal is worthwhile. If we find grounds for reduction, we'll gather supporting documentation including property inspections, market analysis, and comparable property data. Next, we file your formal appeal with the appropriate county board and prepare your case presentation. We handle all communication with assessors and represent you at hearings. Throughout the process, you'll receive regular updates on case progress and strategy adjustments.

Service Area

We serve Franklin County and surrounding central Ohio counties including Delaware, Fairfield, Licking, and Pickaway. Our Columbus office allows us to work closely with local county assessors and boards of revision throughout the metro area. We're familiar with each county's specific procedures and assessment practices, giving us strategic advantages in appeals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can you typically reduce my property taxes?
Savings vary widely based on individual circumstances. Residential clients typically see 10-30% reductions, while commercial properties may achieve 15-40% savings when over-assessed.
Do I pay anything if you don't reduce my taxes?
No, we work on contingency for most cases. You only pay our fee when we successfully reduce your assessment and tax liability.
How long does the appeals process take?
Most appeals take 6-12 months for residential properties and 8-18 months for commercial properties. Timeline depends on county procedures and case complexity.
What documents do I need for an appeal?
We'll help gather necessary documentation, but having recent appraisals, property condition photos, and improvement records is helpful. We handle most document collection for clients.
Can I appeal every year?
Yes, you can appeal annually if you believe your assessment is incorrect. However, we only recommend appeals when there's a reasonable chance of success.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
If the initial county appeal is unsuccessful, we can often pursue additional appeals to state-level boards. Your taxes won't increase due to filing an appeal.
How do you determine if my property is over-assessed?
We analyze recent comparable sales, review assessment methodology, and examine property characteristics. Our evaluation considers market conditions and county assessment practices.
Are there deadlines for filing property tax appeals?
Yes, Ohio has strict deadlines typically ranging from 30-60 days after assessment notices. Missing deadlines can prevent appeals, so contact us quickly after receiving notices.
