How They Can Help

We offer comprehensive property tax reduction services starting with free assessment reviews to identify overvaluation issues. Our residential services include complete homeowner tax protests, from initial filing through final resolution at local review boards or state tribunals. For commercial properties, we provide detailed valuation analysis using multiple approaches including cost, sales comparison, and income methods. We specialize in complex properties like medical buildings, manufacturing facilities, and mixed-use developments that require specialized expertise. Our team also handles ongoing assessment monitoring and provides strategic advice for property acquisitions to avoid future tax problems. We maintain a network of certified appraisers and property valuation experts to support our cases with credible evidence.

What to Expect

We start every case with a comprehensive property assessment review at no charge. This includes analyzing your current assessment against recent comparable sales and market trends to determine if you're being overtaxed. When we identify a viable case, we conduct thorough property research including on-site inspections, market analysis, and comparable property evaluation. We handle all paperwork and filing requirements while keeping you informed of deadlines and progress. Our representation includes attending hearings, presenting evidence, and negotiating with assessors. Most residential cases conclude within 4-6 months, while commercial appeals may take 8-15 months depending on complexity and appeal level.

For substantial commercial properties, we'll represent clients anywhere in southeastern Michigan where potential savings justify our involvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property taxes are too high?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is 10-15% above market value, you likely have grounds for appeal.
What's the best time to file a property tax appeal?
Most appeals must be filed between January and July 31st, but earlier is better. We recommend reviewing assessments as soon as new values are published, typically in March or April.
Can you help with both residential and commercial properties?
Yes, we handle both residential and commercial appeals, though our approach and pricing differ based on property type and complexity.
What information do you need to evaluate my case?
We need recent tax bills, any appraisals or inspections, and basic property information. We can often provide initial case evaluation with just your tax bill and property address.
How long do property tax reductions last?
Successful appeals typically provide savings until your next reassessment, usually 2-4 years. Some reductions may last longer if market conditions support the lower valuation.
What happens if we don't achieve any tax reduction?
For contingency cases, you owe nothing if we don't achieve savings. For fee-based cases, you're responsible for agreed costs regardless of outcome, which we discuss upfront.
Do you handle appeals that have already been denied?
Yes, we can often help with appeals to higher levels like the Tax Tribunal, though timing restrictions apply. We evaluate each case to determine the best approach.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, but you need legitimate grounds such as market changes, assessment errors, or property condition issues. Strategic timing often produces better results than annual appeals.
