How They Can Help

We provide complete property assessment analysis starting with detailed market studies comparing your property to recent sales of similar properties. Our valuation services include income approach analysis for rental properties, cost approach for unique properties, and sales comparison methodology for standard residential and commercial properties. Residential services cover single-family homes, condominiums, townhouses, and vacant land appeals. We handle homestead exemption applications, senior citizen discounts, and disability exemptions. Commercial services include office buildings, retail centers, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and multi-family properties. We also provide specialized services for properties with environmental issues, deed restrictions, or other factors that negatively impact value. Our team prepares comprehensive appeal packages including property inspections, photographic evidence, and expert testimony when needed.

What to Expect

We start with a free consultation reviewing your property tax records and assessment notices to identify potential savings opportunities. Our team conducts thorough property inspections and market research to determine if your assessment exceeds fair market value. When we identify viable appeal grounds, we prepare comprehensive documentation packages including comparable sales analysis, property condition reports, and supporting evidence. We handle all paperwork, filing requirements, and communications with the Chatham County Board of Assessors. Throughout the process, we provide regular updates and prepare you for any required hearings. Most cases resolve within 4-6 months, though complex commercial appeals may extend longer depending on property complexity and evidence requirements.

Service Area

Our primary service area encompasses Chatham County including Savannah, Pooler, Garden City, Port Wentworth, and Tybee Island. We extend services to Effingham County, Bryan County, and Liberty County for qualifying cases. For significant commercial properties or cases with substantial tax savings potential, we'll handle appeals throughout Southeast Georgia. We're licensed to practice throughout Georgia and can assist with multi-county property portfolios when circumstances warrant extended geographic coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What evidence do I need to challenge my property assessment?
We handle evidence gathering, but helpful information includes recent repair estimates, comparable sales data, and photos of property condition issues. We conduct professional inspections and market research as part of our service.
Can I appeal if my property value has decreased since the assessment?
Yes, declining property values provide strong grounds for appeal. We analyze current market conditions and comparable sales to demonstrate value decreases since the assessment date.
How much does a typical appeal cost?
Most appeals operate under contingency fee arrangements where you pay only if we achieve tax reductions. Fees typically range from 25-35% of first-year savings depending on property type.
What happens if the assessor denies my appeal?
Denied appeals can be escalated to the Chatham County Board of Equalization or superior court. We evaluate the strength of your case and recommend the best path forward.
Will appealing affect my property's marketability?
No, property tax appeals are confidential proceedings that don't appear in public records or affect property marketability. Appeals are routine business matters.
How often can I appeal my property assessment?
You can file appeals annually if you believe your assessment is excessive. However, repeated successful appeals may make future challenges more difficult unless property conditions change.
Do I need to be present for appeal hearings?
We represent you at all hearings and handle all required appearances. Your presence isn't necessary unless you specifically want to attend or provide testimony.
What's the difference between market value and assessed value?
Market value represents what your property would sell for in the current market. Assessed value is the assessor's opinion of value used for tax purposes, which should reflect market value but often doesn't.
