Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property assessment is accurate?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your neighborhood. If there's a significant discrepancy, you may have grounds for appeal.
Can you help with property tax exemptions I might be missing?
Yes, we review all available exemptions including homestead, senior, veteran, and disability exemptions to ensure you're receiving all applicable tax relief.
What's included in your property tax appeal service?
Our service includes assessment review, comparable sales analysis, formal appeal preparation, and representation with tax authorities through resolution.
How much can I typically save through a successful appeal?
Savings vary based on your property's over-assessment, but successful appeals often reduce taxes by 10-25% annually. These savings continue each year until the next reassessment.
Do you handle commercial properties and rental properties?
Yes, we work with all property types including commercial buildings, rental properties, and mixed-use developments throughout Washington DC.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
On contingency cases, you pay no fees if we don't achieve savings. We'll explain what happened and discuss options for future appeal cycles if circumstances change.
Can you help with properties I'm buying or selling?
Yes, we provide property tax analysis for real estate transactions to help buyers understand ongoing tax obligations and identify potential appeal opportunities.
