How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services include residential assessment appeals for homeowners challenging inflated valuations on single-family homes, condos, and townhouses. We handle commercial property tax appeals for office buildings, retail spaces, industrial facilities, and investment properties. Our valuation analysis service provides independent property assessments to identify overvaluations and build strong appeal cases. We offer tax reduction consulting to help property owners understand their assessment notices and identify opportunities for savings. Our residential tax protest service guides homeowners through the formal appeal process, from initial filing to Board of Revision hearings. For commercial clients, we provide ongoing assessment monitoring to catch valuation errors early and maintain optimal tax positions year after year.

What to Expect

We start with a comprehensive property analysis, reviewing your current assessment against comparable sales and market conditions. Once we identify grounds for appeal, we prepare detailed documentation including property inspections, market studies, and legal briefs. We handle all filing requirements and represent you at hearings, presenting evidence to support your case. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and potential outcomes. Most cases resolve within 3-6 months, though complex commercial appeals may take longer. We work on a contingency basis for many cases, so you only pay when we achieve results.

Service Area

We serve all of Philadelphia County, including Center City, South Philadelphia, North Philadelphia, West Philadelphia, and Northeast Philadelphia. Our local expertise extends to understanding neighborhood-specific market trends and assessment patterns that can impact your property's valuation and appeal strategy.

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 neighborhood. Look for discrepancies in property details like square footage, lot size, or building features on your assessment notice.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Philadelphia?
Appeals must be filed within specific timeframes after receiving your assessment notice. We recommend acting quickly as deadlines are strictly enforced.
Do you guarantee tax reductions?
While we can't guarantee specific outcomes, we only take cases where we believe there's strong evidence for a reduction. Our contingency fee structure means we're invested in your success.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary based on your property's over-assessment amount and successful appeal outcome. We've secured reductions ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars annually for clients.
Will appealing my assessment affect my neighbors' taxes?
No, individual appeals don't directly impact neighboring properties. Each property is assessed based on its specific characteristics and market evidence.
What documents do I need for a property tax appeal?
We'll help gather necessary documentation including recent sales comparisons, property inspection reports, and any relevant maintenance or repair records. Requirements vary by case type.
Can I appeal my assessment every year?
You can appeal whenever you believe your assessment is incorrect, but you need valid grounds each time. We help determine when appeals are most likely to succeed.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
If an appeal is unsuccessful, your assessment remains unchanged. With our contingency fee structure, you typically owe no attorney fees for unsuccessful residential appeals.
