Weiner & Cummings

Weiner & Cummings has provided property tax consulting services to Miami businesses and property owners for over two decades. Our team combines legal expertise with deep knowledge of Florida's property assessment system to help clients reduce their annual property tax burden through strategic appeals and valuation challenges. We focus on identifying assessment errors and market value discrepancies that result in overpayment of property taxes. Our systematic approach examines comparable sales data, property conditions, and local market trends to build compelling cases for tax reductions. Whether you own a single rental property or manage a large commercial portfolio, we have the experience to help you minimize your property tax expenses.

Our property tax practice encompasses both residential and commercial assessment appeals throughout Miami-Dade County. We handle single-family home appeals, condominium assessments, apartment building valuations, and complex commercial property challenges. Our services include comprehensive market analysis, comparable sales research, and property inspection reports when necessary. For commercial clients, we provide portfolio management services covering multiple properties and jurisdictions. We also assist with exemption applications, including homestead exemptions, senior discounts, and disability exemptions. Our team monitors annual assessment changes and proactively identifies properties that may benefit from appeals. We prepare detailed valuation reports, attend hearings before the Value Adjustment Board, and negotiate settlements with property appraisers when possible.

We begin with a comprehensive property review to identify potential grounds for appeal. This includes analyzing your current assessment against recent comparable sales and market data. We'll explain the appeals process timeline and your chances of success before moving forward. Once retained, we gather all necessary documentation, including sales data, property surveys, and condition reports. We file all required paperwork within Miami-Dade's deadlines and prepare your case presentation. Our attorneys represent you at all hearings and negotiations. We provide regular updates throughout the 90-120 day process and work to achieve the maximum possible reduction in your assessed value.

Our practice covers all of Miami-Dade County including Miami, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Hialeah, Homestead, and the unincorporated areas. We regularly handle appeals before the Miami-Dade Value Adjustment Board and maintain working relationships with local property appraisers' offices. Our central Miami location provides easy access to county offices and hearing locations throughout South Florida.
