How They Can Help

The firm offers comprehensive property tax appeal services starting with thorough assessment reviews and market analysis. They handle all paperwork filing, evidence gathering, and legal representation before county boards of equalization. Their commercial property tax services include complex valuation challenges for office buildings, retail centers, and industrial properties. Residential services cover single-family homes, condominiums, and multi-family properties. They provide detailed comparable sales analysis and work with certified appraisers when needed. The team also handles tax exemption applications for qualified properties, including homestead exemptions and senior citizen deferrals. They maintain ongoing relationships with local assessors to stay current on assessment practices and ensure clients receive fair treatment throughout the appeals process.

What to Expect

The process begins with a free consultation where they review your current assessment and recent property tax bills. They'll analyze your property's characteristics, recent sales in your area, and identify potential grounds for appeal. If they find merit in your case, they'll prepare all necessary documentation and file your appeal within required deadlines. Throughout the process, clients receive regular updates on case progress and hearing schedules. The attorneys handle all communications with tax authorities and represent you at hearings. Most cases resolve within 3-6 months, and clients only pay fees if they achieve a reduction in assessed value.

Service Area

The firm serves all of metro Atlanta, with particular focus on Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, and Cobb counties. They handle appeals in multiple jurisdictions and maintain strong working relationships with assessors throughout the region. Their local knowledge of Atlanta's diverse property markets gives them an advantage in building compelling cases for tax reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can you typically reduce my property taxes?
Reductions vary widely based on individual circumstances, but successful appeals often achieve 10-30% assessment reductions. The actual tax savings depend on your local millage rates and the degree of overassessment.
What if my property value has actually increased?
Rising property values don't automatically justify every assessment increase. We look for evidence that your specific property is overvalued compared to similar properties that sold recently.
How long do I have to file an appeal?
Georgia law requires appeals to be filed within 45 days of receiving your assessment notice. Missing this deadline can prevent you from challenging your assessment for that tax year.
Will appealing my assessment trigger an audit or investigation?
No, filing a legitimate property tax appeal is your legal right and won't trigger any negative consequences. Assessors handle thousands of appeals annually as part of normal business.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
If unsuccessful, your assessment remains unchanged and you owe no attorney fees under our contingency arrangement. We'll also advise you on whether the case merits further appeal to higher authorities.
Can you help with tax exemptions I might qualify for?
Yes, we handle homestead exemptions, senior citizen deferrals, and other property tax relief programs. Many property owners miss out on significant savings by not applying for available exemptions.
Do you handle appeals in counties outside Atlanta?
We focus primarily on metro Atlanta counties including Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, and Cobb. We may take cases in other Georgia counties depending on the circumstances and property value involved.
How involved do I need to be in the appeal process?
Minimal involvement is required from clients. We handle all paperwork, communications, and hearing appearances, keeping you informed of progress and important developments throughout the process.
