Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine if my property assessment is worth appealing?
We analyze your assessed value against recent comparable sales, market trends, and property-specific factors. If we find significant overvaluation, we'll recommend an appeal.
What's the success rate for property tax appeals in Utah?
Our firm achieves successful reductions in about 80% of appeals we file. Statewide success rates are lower because many property owners attempt appeals without professional assistance.
Can appealing my property tax affect my mortgage or homeowner's insurance?
Successful appeals typically reduce your property taxes, which can lower your monthly mortgage payment if you have an escrow account. It shouldn't negatively affect your insurance.
How far back can property tax refunds go if my appeal is successful?
In Utah, successful appeals can sometimes result in refunds for the current tax year. However, most benefits apply to future tax bills rather than past payments.
What information do county assessors use to determine property values?
Assessors typically use recent sales data, property characteristics, improvements, and market trends. They may also conduct physical inspections or use automated valuation models.
Can I appeal my assessment if comparable properties have lower assessments?
Yes, inequitable treatment compared to similar properties can be grounds for appeal. We analyze assessment patterns in your area to identify potential inequities.
What happens if I disagree with the county's appeal decision?
You can appeal to the Utah State Tax Commission, which provides another level of review. We evaluate whether further appeals are likely to be successful.
Do property improvements always increase my assessment?
Most improvements do increase assessments, but the increase should reflect the actual value added. Sometimes assessors overestimate the value of improvements, creating appeal opportunities.
