How They Can Help

Our core service is comprehensive property tax appeals for all property types. We conduct detailed market studies, identify comparable properties, and analyze assessment methodologies used by county assessors. For residential properties, we focus on finding overvaluations compared to similar homes and identifying property-specific issues that reduce market value. Commercial services include complex income and cost approach analyses for office buildings, retail centers, warehouses, and specialty properties. We prepare detailed reports challenging assessed values and represent clients before the county Board of Equalization. We also provide property tax planning services for acquisitions, helping clients understand tax implications before purchasing. Our appeal process includes filing petitions, gathering evidence, preparing presentation materials, and representing clients at all hearings.

What to Expect

We start with a complimentary assessment review using our proprietary database of comparable sales and assessment ratios. If we identify potential savings exceeding our minimum thresholds, we'll conduct a detailed property evaluation including physical inspection and market analysis. Our team prepares and files all necessary petitions with strict attention to Arizona's deadlines. We handle initial negotiations with county assessors and prepare comprehensive evidence packages for Board of Equalization hearings. Throughout the process, you'll receive detailed progress reports and copies of all communications. Most cases resolve within 4-6 months of filing.

Service Area

We focus exclusively on Maricopa County, including Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Glendale, and surrounding communities. This specialization allows us to maintain detailed knowledge of local market conditions, assessment practices, and hearing procedures. We're familiar with all hearing officers and have established professional relationships that benefit our clients during negotiations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
We provide free assessment reviews comparing your property to recent sales and similar properties. If your assessment exceeds market indicators by our threshold amounts, we'll recommend proceeding with an appeal.
What's the difference between assessed value and market value?
In Arizona, assessed value should reflect limited property value, which is generally market value. However, assessors may use outdated comparables or fail to account for property-specific factors affecting value.
Can you guarantee a tax reduction?
No one can guarantee results, but our 80% success rate reflects careful case selection and thorough preparation. We only accept cases where evidence supports potential reductions.
When is the deadline to appeal my assessment?
Generally 60 days from the mailing date on your valuation notice, typically in March or April. Missing this deadline eliminates your appeal rights for that tax year.
Will appealing affect my homeowner's exemptions?
No, property tax appeals don't affect homeowner, senior, or veteran exemptions. These are separate programs with different qualification criteria.
How much documentation do I need to provide?
We handle most documentation gathering, but property condition photos, recent appraisals, and repair records can strengthen your case significantly.
What happens during a Board of Equalization hearing?
We present evidence supporting a lower value while the assessor defends their assessment. Hearings are informal and typically last 15-30 minutes with decisions issued within days.
Can previous appeal results affect future assessments?
Successful appeals create precedent for your property but don't prevent future increases based on market conditions or property improvements. Each year requires separate analysis and potentially new appeals.
