Frequently Asked Questions

What percentage of appeals are successful?
Success rates vary by jurisdiction and case type, but well-prepared appeals achieve some level of reduction in 70-80% of cases. The key is having solid evidence that your property is overassessed compared to similar properties.
How much documentation do I need to provide?
We need recent tax bills and basic property information to start. We'll help gather additional evidence including sales data, property condition reports, and expert appraisals as needed for your specific case.
What if my assessment seems reasonable compared to market value?
Assessments should reflect fair market value, but they often contain errors or use outdated information. Even properties in strong markets can be overassessed due to incorrect data or flawed methodology.
Can you handle appeals for properties in multiple counties?
Yes, we handle appeals throughout metro Atlanta and have experience with the procedures and personnel in multiple county assessment offices. Each jurisdiction has unique practices we understand.
What happens to my taxes while the appeal is pending?
You must continue paying taxes based on the current assessment while your appeal is processed. If successful, you'll receive a refund or credit for the overpayment with interest.
Is it worth appealing a small assessment increase?
Even modest assessment reductions can save significant money over time. We can help you calculate potential savings to determine if an appeal makes financial sense for your situation.
Do you provide ongoing monitoring after a successful appeal?
We offer annual assessment monitoring services to watch for future increases that might warrant appeal. Many clients find this valuable for maintaining long-term tax savings.
What evidence is most important for a successful appeal?
Recent comparable sales are typically the strongest evidence, but property condition issues, functional obsolescence, and market factors can also be compelling depending on your specific situation.
