Successful Residential Property Appeal and Tax Reduction

Challenge & Opportunity

Objective:Achieve a significant reduction in the property’s assessed value by establishing a true fair market value, thereby lowering the annual property tax liability for the client.

Assessment:The initial assessment of the property was found to be inflated due to reliance on non-comparable sales data or a misapplication of valuation methodology by the local assessor.

Key Deliverable:Secure a permanent reduction in the property’s tax-assessed value.

Methodology: Data & Consulting

1. Baseline Valuation Audit:Our process began with a thorough audit of the client’s current property tax assessment. We analyzed the valuation’s inputs, including comparable properties, neighborhood trends, and the assessor’s specific methodology.

2. Expert Strategy Consultation:We partnered with the client to gather necessary documentation and confirm property details. Our certified valuation consultant then identified the strongest legal and factual grounds for the appeal, pinpointing specific market evidence to counter the assessor's claim.

3. Technology-Driven Analysis:We deployed our proprietary platform to run advanced comparable sales analysis, providing clear, irrefutable data demonstrating a lower fair market value. This established the maximum achievable savings target for the appeal.

4. Appeal Filing and Management:The final appeal package was meticulously prepared, organized, and filed. Value Appeal Pro managed all communication with the tax authorities, ensuring all required deadlines and procedural rules were strictly met.
