Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Montgomery County assessments different from other areas?
Montgomery County uses a combination of periodic countywide reassessments and ongoing individual property reviews. The county also has diverse property types and market conditions that require specialized local knowledge.
How do you determine if my property assessment is appealable?
We compare your assessment to recent sales of comparable properties and analyze market trends in your area. If there's a significant discrepancy suggesting over-assessment, an appeal may be worthwhile.
Can you help with properties owned through business entities or trusts?
Yes, our background in business and estate law makes us particularly well-suited to handle properties with complex ownership structures and the unique valuation issues they may present.
What's your success rate with Montgomery County appeals?
While success rates vary by case type and circumstances, we achieve favorable outcomes in the majority of appeals we handle. Our thorough preparation and local expertise contribute to consistently positive results.
Do you work with property appraisers when needed?
Yes, we maintain relationships with qualified appraisers and other experts who can provide additional support for complex cases when professional valuation opinions strengthen the appeal.
How do you keep costs reasonable for residential clients?
We offer contingency fee arrangements for most residential appeals, meaning you only pay if we achieve savings. This aligns our interests with yours and makes the service accessible to homeowners.
What happens if we need to appeal beyond the local board?
We can represent clients through higher levels of appeal including court proceedings when necessary. Our litigation experience provides confidence in handling more complex legal challenges.
Can you help with tax planning beyond just appeals?
Our multidisciplinary practice allows us to identify broader tax planning opportunities and coordinate property tax strategies with your overall estate and business planning objectives.
