Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine if my property is over-assessed?
We analyze your assessment against comparable properties, recent sales data, and current market conditions. We also review assessment methodology to identify calculation errors or inappropriate comparisons that might support an appeal.
What's included in your flat fee structure?
Our flat fees cover complete appeal services including assessment analysis, documentation preparation, filing, and representation at hearings. Additional costs might include appraisals or expert witnesses if needed for complex cases.
Can you help with properties outside Marion County?
Yes, we serve properties throughout central Indiana. Each county has slightly different procedures, but our understanding of Indiana property tax law applies statewide. We adjust our approach based on local requirements.
How often should I have my assessment reviewed?
We recommend annual reviews, especially after reassessment years or significant market changes. Early identification of problems provides more time to gather evidence and file appeals before deadlines.
What happens if market values have increased but my assessment seems too high?
Even in rising markets, individual properties may be over-assessed relative to their actual market value. We compare your assessment to similar properties that sold recently to identify disparities.
Do you provide written reports of your findings?
Yes, we provide detailed written analysis of our assessment review including comparable properties, valuation methodology, and recommendations. This documentation supports your appeal and helps you understand our reasoning.
How do you handle cases that require expert witnesses or appraisals?
For complex properties requiring additional expertise, we work with qualified appraisers and other professionals. These additional costs are discussed upfront and included in our fee estimates when necessary.
What percentage of appeals do you typically win?
Success rates vary by property type and local conditions, but we carefully screen cases before accepting them. We only recommend appeals where we identify substantial grounds for reduction, which improves our overall success rate.
