What to Expect

The process begins with a free consultation where they review your property's current assessment and recent tax bills. They'll analyze comparable sales in your area and evaluate whether an appeal has merit based on market data and assessment practices. If they determine you have a valid case, they'll gather supporting documentation including property inspections, market analysis, and comparable sales data. They handle all paperwork filing and represent you at hearings before the board of review. Throughout the process, they keep you informed of progress and next steps. Most residential appeals are resolved within 6-8 months, while commercial appeals may take longer depending on complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher than market value, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal?
Deadlines vary by county but are typically 30-60 days after assessment notices are mailed. Missing the deadline usually means waiting until the next assessment cycle.
Do I need to pay upfront for appeal services?
Most residential appeals are handled on contingency, meaning no upfront payment. You only pay if we successfully reduce your taxes.
How long does the appeal process take?
Residential appeals typically take 6-8 months from filing to resolution. Commercial appeals may take longer depending on property complexity.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
If we don't achieve a reduction, you owe no fees for contingency cases. You can often appeal again in future years if circumstances change.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can file appeals annually if you believe your assessment is incorrect. However, successful appeals require valid grounds based on market data or property conditions.
Will appealing my taxes affect my neighbors?
Individual appeals don't directly affect neighboring properties. Each property is evaluated on its own merits during the appeal process.
What documentation do I need for an appeal?
We'll help gather necessary documents, but property tax bills, recent sales data, and information about property condition are typically needed.
