Property Tax Assessment Appeal

You have a legal right to challenge the assessor’s value.

The battle over real estate taxes starts with the local assessor’s estimate. Assessors use generalized mass-appraisal techniques that often miss the details of an individual property. If you don’t believe the value, you can challenge it.

What does the process look like?

We review whether your assessment is fair, verifying the data on record and appraising comparable properties in your area, and pursue the appeal at the appropriate level, escalating to a higher level if warranted.

Who we work with

We are selective, typically handling properties assessed at $750,000 or more, though we consider lower-value cases in special circumstances. We currently focus on California and Washington State.
