They prepare all necessary paperwork and represent you throughout the appeals process, including hearings if required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I potentially save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely based on your current assessment and market conditions. Typical successful residential appeals save $500-3000 annually, while commercial properties can save tens of thousands.
What makes an assessment appealable?
Assessments significantly higher than recent comparable sales, properties with condition issues not reflected in assessments, or incorrect property characteristics create appeal opportunities. Professional evaluation determines appeal merit.
Can I appeal every year?
Yes, you can file appeals annually if you believe your assessment is too high. However, successful appeals require new evidence or changed circumstances to be effective.
What happens if I lose my appeal?
If your appeal is unsuccessful, your assessment remains unchanged and you owe no fees under contingency arrangements. You can potentially appeal to circuit court, though this involves additional costs and time.
Do property improvements hurt my chances of appeal?
Recent improvements may justify higher assessments, but older improvements are often already factored in. The key is whether your total assessment reflects current market value for your improved property.
How does the Value Adjustment Board hearing work?
Hearings are semi-formal proceedings where both sides present evidence. Your attorney will present comparable sales and other evidence while the county defends their assessment. Decisions typically come within 30 days.
Should I appeal if I recently bought my property?
Recent purchases can sometimes support appeals if you paid less than your assessment, though counties may argue market conditions changed. Professional evaluation determines if you have viable grounds for appeal.
What records should I keep for future appeals?
Maintain purchase documents, improvement records, repair receipts, and comparable sales data. Property photos documenting condition issues can also be valuable for future appeals.
