How They Can Help

We offer comprehensive property tax appeal services including assessment review, valuation analysis, and formal protest filing. Our residential services cover single-family homes, condos, and townhouses throughout metro Atlanta. For commercial clients, we handle office buildings, retail centers, industrial properties, and multi-family complexes. Our valuation experts conduct thorough market analysis comparing your property to similar sales and listings. We examine assessment records for errors, review building permits for accuracy, and identify any factors that might reduce your property's taxable value. When we find grounds for appeal, we prepare detailed evidence packages and represent you through the entire appeals process. Additional services include ongoing assessment monitoring, tax exemption applications for qualifying properties, and consultation on property improvement timing to minimize tax impact. We also provide portfolio analysis for investors and property management companies seeking systematic tax reduction strategies.

What to Expect

Our process begins with a free property assessment review where we analyze your current tax bill and recent assessment notices. If we identify potential savings, we'll explain the appeals timeline and our fee structure before you commit to moving forward. Once engaged, we gather property records, conduct market research, and prepare your appeal documentation. We handle all filings with the county assessor's office and represent you at hearings if necessary. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and next steps. Most appeals resolve within 60-90 days, though complex commercial cases may take longer. If successful, your tax reduction typically applies to the current year and continues until the next reassessment cycle.

Service Area

We serve the greater Atlanta metropolitan area including Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, and Clayton counties. Our team is familiar with each county's specific assessment procedures, appeal deadlines, and hearing processes. We also handle select cases in surrounding counties like Cherokee, Forsyth, and Henry when the property value and potential savings justify our involvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
Signs include assessment increases much higher than market trends, incorrect property details on tax records, or assessed values significantly above recent comparable sales. We provide free initial reviews to determine appeal potential.
What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals in Georgia?
Most counties require appeals within 45 days of assessment notice mailing, but deadlines vary. Fulton County's deadline is typically May 1st, while other counties may differ.
How much can I expect to save on a successful appeal?
Successful residential appeals typically reduce assessments by 10-25%, while commercial properties may see larger reductions. Actual savings depend on your property's specific circumstances and the strength of available evidence.
Do you charge upfront fees for property tax appeals?
No, most appeals use contingency pricing where you only pay if we achieve results. Initial consultations and assessment reviews are always free.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you have the right to appeal annually if you believe your assessment is incorrect. However, successful appeals require new evidence or changed circumstances.
What happens if my appeal is denied?
You can request a hearing before the county board of equalization or superior court. We represent clients through all levels of the appeals process.
How long does the appeals process take?
Most appeals resolve within 60-90 days, though complex cases or hearings may extend the timeline. We'll keep you informed of progress throughout.
Will appealing my taxes affect my homestead exemption?
No, property tax appeals don't impact exemptions you've already qualified for. Appeals only challenge the assessed value, not exemption eligibility.
