What to Expect

Wayne's process begins with a free consultation where he reviews your property assessment and recent sales data. If he identifies potential savings, he'll conduct a thorough property analysis including on-site inspection, market research, and comparable sales study. He then prepares all necessary documentation and evidence to support your case. Throughout the appeal process, Wayne handles all communication with county assessors and represents you at hearings if needed. He keeps clients informed at every step and provides regular updates on case progress. Most appeals are resolved within 60-90 days, though complex commercial cases may take longer. Wayne works on contingency for most cases, so you pay nothing unless he successfully reduces your assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Compare your assessment to similar properties that sold recently in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher than market sales, you may have grounds for appeal. Wayne can provide a free evaluation to determine your potential.
What's the deadline for filing an appeal?
Utah appeal deadlines vary by county but typically fall between September 1st and November 15th. Summit County requires appeals by September 15th. Missing the deadline means waiting until the next assessment cycle.
How much can I expect to save?
Successful appeals typically result in 10-30% assessment reductions. On a $500,000 home, this could mean $500-$1,500 in annual tax savings. Wayne's average client saves 15-25% on successful appeals.
Do I need to attend the hearing?
While attendance can be helpful, Wayne can represent you at all hearings. He'll prepare you if your presence would benefit the case, but most appeals are resolved through written submissions and his professional representation.
Can I appeal every year?
Yes, you can appeal annually if you believe your assessment is incorrect. Wayne recommends annual reviews to identify opportunities, especially in changing markets or after property improvements.
What information do you need to evaluate my case?
Wayne needs your current assessment notice, recent comparable sales if available, and details about your property's condition. He'll gather additional market data and perform his own analysis during the evaluation process.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most residential appeals resolve within 60-90 days of filing. Commercial appeals may take 90-120 days due to complexity. Wayne provides regular updates throughout the process.
What if the appeal is unsuccessful?
If working on contingency, you owe nothing for unsuccessful appeals. Wayne's high success rate minimizes this risk, and he only takes cases where he sees genuine potential for reduction.
