What to Expect

Your property tax appeal begins with a comprehensive assessment review where we analyze your current valuation against comparable properties and market data. We'll inspect your property to identify any factors that might reduce its value, such as needed repairs, functional issues, or environmental concerns. Next, we prepare detailed documentation supporting your appeal, including market analysis, property condition reports, and legal arguments. We then file your appeal with the appropriate board and represent you throughout the process. Most cases resolve at the local level, but we're prepared to take your case to the Michigan Tax Tribunal if necessary. Throughout the process, we keep you informed and explain each step clearly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Michigan?
Most Michigan municipalities have appeal deadlines in March, typically by the second Tuesday. Some areas have different deadlines, so check with your local assessor's office.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Results vary by property, but our clients typically see 15-25% reductions in their assessments. Commercial properties often achieve larger dollar savings due to higher values.
Do you charge upfront fees for appeals?
We offer both hourly and contingency fee arrangements. For many appeals, you only pay if we achieve a reduction in your assessment.
What evidence do I need for a successful appeal?
Strong appeals typically include comparable sales data, property condition documentation, and professional valuation analysis. We help gather and present this evidence effectively.
Can you appeal my taxes if I just bought the property?
Yes, recent purchases can sometimes be appealed if market conditions changed or if the purchase price was below market due to specific circumstances.
How long does the appeal process take?
Local board appeals typically resolve within 3-6 months. Michigan Tax Tribunal cases can take 12-18 months depending on complexity.
What happens if the local board denies my appeal?
You can appeal to the Michigan Tax Tribunal within 30 days. We handle tribunal cases and have experience with formal hearings and legal procedures.
Will appealing my taxes affect future assessments?
