Tax
Appeals

Property Tax Appeal Appraisals

County tax assessments don't always reflect accurate market value — particularly following revaluation cycles or in neighborhoods with limited comparable sales activity. A professionally prepared appraisal provides the credible evidence needed to support a successful appeal.

  • Residential Tax Appeal Appraisals: Independent, certified appraisals prepared specifically for tax board submission and appeal proceedings.
  • Assessment Review: Evaluation of the assessed value relative to current market data and recent comparable sales.
  • Appeal Documentation: Reports formatted to meet the evidentiary standards of county tax review boards.
  • Consultation: Pre-appeal guidance on the strength of your case and what to expect from the process.

1004D Appraisal Updates & Completion Reviews

  • Appraisal Update (1004D): Formal update to a prior appraisal certifying whether the value conclusion remains valid and that no material conditions have changed.
