Frequently Asked Questions

How does your automated analysis system work?
Our proprietary software analyzes your property against thousands of recent sales and assessments in your area. It identifies statistical outliers and assessment discrepancies that suggest overvaluation, providing a data-driven foundation for appeals.
Do you handle appeals in all Washington counties?
Yes, we serve property owners statewide and have experience with assessor practices in over 25 Washington counties. Our regional specialists understand local market conditions and assessment methodologies.
What's included in your free assessment analysis?
The free analysis provides a detailed report comparing your assessment to similar properties, estimated overassessment amount, potential tax savings, and our assessment of appeal success probability. There's no obligation to proceed with representation.
How do you determine your contingency fee percentage?
Our standard contingency fee is 33% of the first year's tax savings for residential properties. This rate is competitive in the market and ensures we're motivated to achieve maximum savings for our clients.
Can you handle appeals for multiple properties I own?
Absolutely. We offer portfolio monitoring services and volume discounts for clients with multiple properties. Our system can track all your properties and alert you to assessment increases that warrant appeals.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
With contingency arrangements, you pay no attorney fees if we don't achieve tax savings. You're only responsible for minimal county filing fees, typically $50-100 depending on the jurisdiction.
How long do property tax savings typically last?
Successful appeals reduce your assessment for that tax year, and many reductions carry forward to subsequent years. However, assessments can change annually based on market conditions and property improvements.
Do you provide services beyond property tax appeals?
While property tax appeals are our primary focus, we also assist with exemption applications, tax planning for property improvements, and ongoing assessment monitoring services for proactive tax management.
