How We Handle Your Commercial Appeal

Unlike residential appeals, commercial property tax challenges require deeper analysis β€” income approach, cap rates, and comparable sales all come into play. Here's our process.

1

Free Initial Review

We analyze your current assessment, property type, and county data to determine if a strong case exists before we commit.

β†’
2

Evidence & Analysis

We pull income data, comparable sales, and market cap rates to build a comprehensive case against the county's assessment.

β†’
3

VAB Petition Filed

We file your Value Adjustment Board petition before the September deadline and prepare your full evidence package for the hearing.

β†’
4

Hearing & Resolution

We represent your property before the Special Magistrate. If the assessment is reduced, our fee is 25% of the first year's savings + $25 admin.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the $25 admin fee for? +
The $25 admin fee covers petition filing costs, document processing, and county submission fees. It's charged per petition regardless of outcome.
How is the 25% calculated? +
It's 25% of your first year's actual tax savings. If your tax bill drops by $10,000, our fee is $2,500 + $25 admin. No recurring percentage β€” just year one.
What if the appeal doesn't succeed? +
If we don't achieve a reduction in your assessed value, you owe us nothing beyond the $25 admin fee. Our incentive is entirely tied to your outcome.
How long does a commercial appeal take? +
The VAB process typically runs from September to March of the following year. Hearings are usually scheduled 3–6 months after the petition is filed.
Can I appeal multiple properties? +
Yes. Each property gets its own petition. The $25 admin fee applies per petition, and our 25% contingency is calculated per-property on individual savings.
What information do you need from me? +
Basic property details β€” address, parcel ID, current assessment, and any income/expense data you have. We do the research. You provide what you have and we handle the rest.
