Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
We compare your assessment to recent sales of similar properties and evaluate market conditions. If your assessed value exceeds fair market value or comparable properties are assessed lower, you may have grounds for appeal.
What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals in Florida?
Appeals must typically be filed within 25 days of receiving your TRIM notice, usually in late summer. Some counties have different deadlines, so timing is critical.
Will appealing my taxes trigger an audit or higher future assessments?
No, filing an appeal is your legal right and won't trigger audits or retaliation. Future assessments are based on market conditions, not appeal history.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals resolve within 60-90 days of filing. Complex commercial cases may take longer if additional hearings are required.
Do I have to attend the hearing?
We represent you at all hearings, though your attendance can sometimes be helpful. We'll advise whether your presence would benefit your specific case.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
In most contingency cases, you owe nothing if we don't achieve a reduction. For retainer cases, you've still received valuable analysis of your property's assessment.
Can I appeal every year?
Yes, you can challenge your assessment annually if you believe it's excessive. We offer monitoring services to identify worthwhile appeal opportunities.
What documents do I need to provide?
We typically need your current tax bill, property deed, recent surveys if available, and documentation of any property condition issues. We'll guide you through the specific requirements.
