How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services start with detailed assessment reviews where we analyze your property's current valuation against comparable sales and market conditions. We handle the entire appeals process, from initial filing through hearings before the Assessment Appeals Board. Our property valuation services include market analysis, income approach calculations, and cost approach assessments tailored to your specific property type. We also provide ongoing tax reduction consulting to help you understand exemptions, deferrals, and other strategies that might apply. For commercial properties, we offer specialized services including business personal property appeals, Proposition 8 decline-in-value claims, and complex multi-parcel assessments. Our team stays current with California property tax law changes and San Diego County assessment practices, ensuring you benefit from every available opportunity for tax savings.

What to Expect

Our process begins with a no-cost property assessment review where we analyze your current tax bill and property details. If we identify potential savings, we'll provide a detailed analysis showing likely outcomes and our recommended strategy. Once engaged, we handle all paperwork, deadlines, and communications with the assessor's office. We prepare comprehensive evidence packages including comparable sales analysis, property condition reports, and market data. Throughout the appeals process, we keep you informed of progress and handle all hearing appearances on your behalf. Most cases resolve within 6-12 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
We provide free assessment reviews comparing your property to recent sales and market conditions. Signs include assessments well above recent comparable sales or assessments that increased significantly more than market trends.
What's the deadline for filing an appeal?
In San Diego County, you must file by November 30th following the tax roll's completion. Missing this deadline means waiting until the next assessment cycle.
Can appealing my assessment backfire and increase my taxes?
No, California law prohibits assessors from increasing your assessment as retaliation for filing an appeal. Your assessment can only be reduced or remain the same.
How much can I potentially save?
Savings vary widely based on your property and level of over-assessment. We've achieved reductions ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands of dollars annually.
Do I need to attend the appeal hearing?
While not required, property owner attendance can be helpful. However, we handle all presentations and advocacy, so your presence isn't necessary for a successful outcome.
What evidence do you use to support appeals?
We compile comparable sales data, property condition reports, market analysis, income and expense data for commercial properties, and other relevant evidence specific to your property type.
How often can I appeal my assessment?
You can file an appeal each year if you believe your assessment is incorrect. However, we recommend strategic timing based on market conditions and assessment changes.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
If unsuccessful at the county level, we can advise on potential state-level appeals or alternative strategies. With contingency fee arrangements, you won't pay our fees for unsuccessful residential appeals.
