How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services include residential assessment appeals for single-family homes, condos, and multi-unit properties. We handle commercial property tax appeals for office buildings, retail spaces, industrial facilities, and investment properties. Our valuation analysis service examines your property's assessed value against comparable sales and market conditions to identify potential savings opportunities. We provide complete case preparation including property inspections, market research, and evidence gathering. Our legal team files all necessary paperwork with assessment boards and represents clients at hearings. We also offer ongoing monitoring services to track assessment changes and alert you to future appeal opportunities. For commercial clients, we conduct comprehensive portfolio reviews to identify tax reduction potential across multiple properties. Our consultation services help property owners understand their rights and options before deciding on formal appeals.

What to Expect

The process begins with a free consultation where we review your property's assessment and recent tax increases. We'll analyze comparable sales data and inspect your property to evaluate appeal potential. If we identify savings opportunities, we'll prepare your case by gathering evidence including professional appraisals, photographs, and market analysis. We handle all filing requirements and deadlines with the Board of Property Assessment Appeals. Our attorneys represent you at the hearing, presenting evidence and arguing for fair valuation. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and next steps. Most cases resolve within 6-12 months, and successful appeals result in reduced assessments for the current year and often future years.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher than comparable sales, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Pennsylvania?
You typically have 40 days from the date of your assessment notice to file an appeal. Missing this deadline may limit your options but doesn't always eliminate them.
How much can I expect to save with a successful appeal?
Savings vary widely based on the degree of over-assessment. Successful appeals often result in 10-30% reductions in assessed value, translating to hundreds or thousands in annual tax savings.
Do I need a professional appraisal for my appeal?
While not always required, a professional appraisal strengthens your case significantly. We can advise whether an appraisal is worth the investment based on your property's situation.
What happens if I lose my appeal?
If the initial appeal is unsuccessful, there may be options for further appeal to higher levels. We'll discuss these options and their likelihood of success.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals resolve within 6-12 months, though complex commercial cases may take longer. We'll provide timeline estimates based on your specific case.
Can I appeal my taxes every year?
You can challenge your assessment whenever you believe it's incorrect, but you need valid grounds for appeal. Annual challenges without merit may hurt your credibility.
What evidence do I need for a successful appeal?
Strong evidence includes recent comparable sales, professional appraisals, photographs of property conditions, and documentation of any factors that negatively impact value. We help gather and organize this evidence.
