How They Can Help

The practice offers comprehensive property tax reduction services for both residential and commercial properties. Assessment appeals form the core of their work, challenging overvaluations through detailed market analysis and comparable property research. They handle informal reviews with county auditors and formal appeals before boards of revision. Valuation analysis services include property inspections, market research, and expert testimony preparation. For commercial properties, they examine income approaches, cost methods, and sales comparisons to build strong cases. Residential services focus on comparable sales analysis and condition assessments. The firm also provides ongoing tax consulting, helping clients understand assessment cycles and identify future appeal opportunities. They review annual tax statements, monitor market changes, and advise on timing for appeals. Their business law background helps with complex commercial property issues and investment property strategies.

What to Expect

Initial consultations review your property tax statement, recent assessment notices, and property details. They'll explain appeal deadlines and potential outcomes based on similar cases. If you decide to proceed, they gather property documentation, conduct market research, and file necessary paperwork. The appeal process typically involves submitting evidence to the county auditor's office first, then potentially to the board of revision if needed. They handle all communications, prepare evidence packages, and represent you at hearings. Throughout the process, they keep you informed about progress and any required actions on your part.

Service Area

The firm serves Hamilton County and surrounding southwestern Ohio communities. Their Loveland location provides convenient access to clients in Cincinnati, Mason, West Chester, and Lebanon. They handle cases throughout the greater Cincinnati metropolitan area, including Butler and Clermont counties where appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
Compare your assessment to similar properties in your area and recent sale prices. If your assessment seems high relative to market value or comparable properties, an appeal might be worthwhile.
What deadlines do I need to know about?
Ohio typically requires appeals within 30 days of receiving assessment notices. Missing these deadlines can prevent appeals, so act quickly when you receive notices.
Will appealing my assessment cause problems later?
Property tax appeals are legal rights and shouldn't cause future issues. The process is designed to ensure fair assessments for all property owners.
How much can I expect to save?
Savings vary based on the degree of overassessment and local tax rates. Successful appeals often reduce assessments by 10-30%, translating to hundreds or thousands in annual tax savings.
Do you handle both residential and commercial properties?
Yes, we handle all property types. Commercial appeals often involve more complex valuation methods, but our business law background helps with these cases.
What if I disagree with the board's decision?
Further appeals to the Board of Tax Appeals and courts are possible. Our legal training is particularly valuable for these higher-level proceedings.
Can you help with properties outside Hamilton County?
We focus primarily on Hamilton County but can handle cases in surrounding counties where we're familiar with local procedures and requirements.
How long does the appeal process take?
Informal reviews typically take 2-4 months, while formal board appeals can take 6-12 months. We'll keep you updated on progress throughout the process.
