Frequently Asked Questions
What is a property tax appeal?
A property tax appeal is the legal process of challenging a property’s assessed value when a property owner believes the assessment is inaccurate or results in excessive property taxes.
How do I know if my commercial property is over assessed?
An assessment may be too high if it exceeds the property’s fair market value, contains factual errors, or is significantly higher than comparable properties. An attorney can review the assessment and determine whether an appeal may be appropriate.
When should I file a property tax appeal?
Property tax appeals must be filed within specific statutory deadlines. Property owners should review assessments promptly and consult legal counsel as soon as they believe an assessment may be inaccurate.
