How They Can Help

We handle comprehensive property tax appeals for residential and commercial properties throughout Georgia. Our assessment review service examines your property's current valuation against comparable sales, market conditions, and physical characteristics to identify overassessments. For commercial clients, we provide ongoing tax reduction consulting that includes annual assessment monitoring and strategic appeal planning. Our valuation analysis goes beyond basic comparisons. We research zoning changes, environmental factors, and economic conditions that affect property values. We also handle complex situations like partial exemptions, agricultural classifications, and historic property designations. Our residential tax protest service covers single-family homes, condos, and investment properties. For businesses, we manage portfolio-wide strategies that can save thousands annually across multiple properties.

What to Expect

Your journey starts with a free consultation where we review your property assessment and discuss potential savings. We'll analyze your property's characteristics, recent comparable sales, and market conditions to determine if an appeal makes financial sense. If we proceed, we gather comprehensive documentation including property records, photographs, and market data. We prepare and file your appeal with the appropriate board, handle all correspondence, and represent you at hearings. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and strategy adjustments. Most cases resolve within 3-6 months, though complex commercial appeals may take longer.

Service Area

We serve the greater Atlanta metropolitan area including Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, and Clayton counties. Our team is familiar with the unique assessment practices and appeal procedures in each jurisdiction, giving us an advantage in local hearings. We also handle cases throughout Georgia for commercial clients with properties across multiple counties.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property assessment is too high?
Compare your assessment to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment significantly exceeds what similar properties sold for, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Georgia?
You typically have 45 days from the date of your assessment notice to file an appeal. Missing this deadline means waiting until the next assessment cycle.
How much can I expect to save on a successful appeal?
Our clients typically see 15-25% reductions in their assessments. The actual dollar savings depend on your property value and local tax rates.
Do I need an attorney for a property tax appeal?
While not required, professional representation significantly improves your chances of success. We know what evidence appeals boards find persuasive and how to present it effectively.
What evidence do I need for my appeal?
Key evidence includes recent comparable sales, photographs of property condition, repair estimates for any issues, and documentation of factors that might reduce value.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals resolve within 3-6 months, though complex cases may take longer. We'll keep you updated throughout the process.
Can I get a refund if my appeal is successful?
Yes, successful appeals often result in refunds for taxes already paid, plus reduced future tax bills.
What if my appeal is denied?
Denied appeals can sometimes be taken to superior court, though this adds time and expense. We'll advise you on the best course of action based on your specific case.
