Is your property over-assessed?

Most assessments are generated by formula, not by anyone looking at your property. Your assessment sets your property tax bill, so when it’s too high, you pay more than you should, every year. When that formula overvalues your home, the city won’t catch it on its own, and a recent sale price doesn’t automatically reset it. That’s where we come in. We build an appeal packet that argues your home’s true value with evidence: comparable sales, your property record card and photos.

    You present it

    We hand you the finished packet with filing instructions and your deadlines.
