Frequently Asked Questions

How do you identify over-assessed properties?
We compare your assessment to recent sales of similar properties, analyze the assessor's valuation methods, and look for errors in property data or market assumptions. This systematic approach reveals whether you're paying fair taxes or too much.
What's Snohomish County's deadline for property tax appeals?
Appeals must be filed by July 1st for the current tax year. We recommend starting the review process in spring to allow adequate time for preparation.
Do you work on contingency for all appeals?
Yes, for most appeals we charge only when we achieve tax reductions. This aligns our interests with yours and ensures we focus on cases with genuine potential for savings.
Can you help with properties that have increased significantly in assessed value?
Absolutely. Sudden increases often indicate assessment errors or inappropriate valuation methods. We analyze whether the increase reflects actual market conditions or assessor mistakes.
How much can property tax appeals typically save?
Savings vary widely depending on the property and assessment errors involved. We've seen reductions from a few hundred to several thousand dollars annually, but each case depends on specific circumstances.
What documentation do you need to evaluate my property?
Bring current and previous tax statements, any recent appraisals, and information about property improvements or issues. We'll research public records and sales data as part of our analysis.
Do you handle appeals for new construction?
Yes, new construction often presents valuation challenges for assessors. We can review whether the assessed value appropriately reflects construction costs, market conditions, and any completion delays.
What happens if the county rejects our appeal?
We can request a formal hearing before the Board of Equalization, where we present evidence supporting your case. Most appeals that reach formal hearings have strong merit and good chances for success.
