How They Can Help

Our property tax services cover the full spectrum of assessment challenges and appeals. We handle residential property tax protests for homeowners who believe their assessments are too high compared to similar properties or market values. For commercial clients, we provide comprehensive property tax consulting including assessment reviews, valuation analysis, and ongoing tax planning strategies. We specialize in Board of Review appeals, where we present evidence and arguments to reduce your assessed value. Our team also handles Property Tax Appeal Board cases for more complex situations requiring formal hearings. We work closely with certified appraisers and property valuation experts to ensure your case is supported by solid market data. Additionally, we provide annual assessment monitoring services to catch potential issues before they become expensive problems.

What to Expect

Your property tax appeal starts with a free consultation where we review your assessment notice and property details. We'll analyze your property's assessed value against comparable sales and current market conditions to determine if an appeal is worthwhile. If we proceed, we gather supporting documentation including property records, comparable sales data, and any relevant appraisals. We then file the appropriate appeals with the local Board of Review or Property Tax Appeal Board, depending on your situation. Throughout the process, we handle all communications with assessment officials and represent you at hearings. Most cases resolve within 6-12 months, and you'll only pay fees if we successfully reduce your taxes.

Service Area

We serve property owners throughout central Illinois, with primary coverage in Peoria, Tazewell, Woodford, and surrounding counties. Our attorneys are familiar with local assessment practices and have established relationships with boards of review across the region. We handle cases statewide for larger commercial properties or complex appeals that require specialized expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property taxes are too high?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher than comparable sales, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Illinois?
You typically have 30 days from when assessments are published to file with the Board of Review. Deadlines vary by county, so check with your local assessor's office.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely based on your property and local market conditions. Successful appeals often result in 10-30% assessment reductions, translating to similar tax savings.
Do I need an appraisal to appeal my property taxes?
Not always. We can often build strong cases using comparable sales data and assessment analysis. Appraisals may be helpful for unique or high-value properties.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
If we don't achieve a reduction, you typically owe no attorney fees under our contingency arrangement. You can also appeal to the Property Tax Appeal Board if eligible.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can file an appeal each year if you believe your assessment is incorrect. However, it's most effective when you have new evidence or changed circumstances.
Will appealing my taxes affect my neighbors?
No, individual appeals don't directly affect other properties. Each appeal is evaluated based on the specific property's circumstances and evidence presented.
How long do property tax reductions last?
Reductions typically apply to the tax year being appealed. However, lower assessed values often carry forward unless the assessor makes specific adjustments in future years.
