Frequently Asked Questions

When should I consider appealing my property taxes?
Consider an appeal if your assessment increased significantly more than similar properties, if recent sales in your area suggest your assessment is too high, or if your property has conditions that negatively affect its value. Professional analysis can help determine if an appeal is worthwhile.
What evidence is most important for property tax appeals?
Comparable sales data is typically the strongest evidence, especially recent sales of similar properties in your area. Property condition issues, neighborhood factors, and errors in property characteristics can also support appeals.
Can appealing my property taxes affect my homestead exemption?
Property tax appeals are separate from homestead exemptions and won't affect your exemption status. However, it's important to ensure all applicable exemptions are properly applied before pursuing appeals.
How often can I appeal my property taxes?
You can generally appeal your assessment each year if you believe it's incorrect. However, repeated appeals without significant changes in circumstances or market conditions are less likely to succeed.
What costs are involved besides attorney fees?
Additional costs might include appraisal fees, expert witness fees, or court filing fees for higher-level appeals. Most residential appeals don't require significant additional expenses beyond legal representation.
Will my neighbors know I'm appealing my property taxes?
Property tax appeals become part of public records, but there's no general notification to neighbors. Appeal hearings may be open to the public, though most people don't attend unless they have specific interest.
What happens to my tax payments during the appeal process?
You must continue paying your current property taxes during the appeal process. If your appeal is successful, you'll receive refunds for overpayments, often with interest.
How do I know if my property assessment is accurate?
Research recent sales of comparable properties in your area and compare them to your assessed value. Significant discrepancies may indicate assessment errors worth investigating through professional analysis.
