How They Can Help

Our services include comprehensive property assessment reviews, formal property tax appeals, market analysis and comparable sales research, and representation before county property appraisers and Value Adjustment Boards. We handle residential appeals for single-family homes, condominiums, and townhomes, as well as commercial appeals for retail, office, industrial, and investment properties. We also provide assessment monitoring services, reviewing your annual property assessments to identify potential issues before they become expensive problems. Our valuation services include income approach analysis for commercial properties, cost approach evaluations for unique properties, and market approach studies to establish fair market values. We assist with exemption applications and property classification reviews to ensure you're receiving all available tax benefits.

What to Expect

We begin with a detailed assessment of your property's current valuation and tax burden. If we identify potential savings, we'll outline our strategy and fee structure clearly. Our team handles all aspects of the appeal process, from initial filing through final resolution. We gather supporting documentation, prepare detailed valuation arguments, and present your case to the appropriate authorities. Throughout the process, we maintain regular communication and provide updates on your appeal's progress. Most cases are resolved through negotiation, though we're prepared for formal hearings when necessary.

Service Area

We primarily serve Orlando and surrounding Orange County communities including Winter Park, College Park, Thornton Park, and Lake Nona. Our Central Florida focus allows us to maintain current knowledge of local market conditions and assessment practices. We also handle select cases in adjacent counties for established clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of properties do you handle appeals for?
We handle appeals for all property types including residential homes, condos, commercial buildings, industrial properties, and vacant land. Each requires different valuation approaches and expertise.
How do you determine if my property is over-assessed?
We analyze recent comparable sales, current market conditions, and your property's specific characteristics. We also review the county's assessment methodology for potential errors or outdated information.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal?
In Orange County, appeals must typically be filed by late September. However, deadlines can vary, so it's important to act quickly once you receive your assessment notice.
Can you guarantee a reduction in my property taxes?
No ethical consultant can guarantee results, as each case depends on specific facts and evidence. We only take cases where we see reasonable potential for meaningful savings.
How much documentation do I need to provide?
We handle most documentation gathering, but you may need to provide information about property improvements, damage, or unique characteristics that affect value.
Will my property taxes increase in future years if I appeal?
No, filing an appeal doesn't increase future assessments. Each year's assessment is independent, though we recommend ongoing monitoring for continuing opportunities.
What happens if we disagree with the property appraiser's response?
If informal negotiations don't resolve the matter, we can request a formal hearing before the Value Adjustment Board, which provides an independent review of the case.
Do you handle appeals for properties outside Orange County?
We primarily focus on Orange County but can handle select cases in neighboring counties. Each county has different procedures and deadlines to consider.
