SALT | Real Property Tax Consultants

Real Property Tax Assessment Appeal Process

To get started on your real property tax assessment appeal process, we’ll do an initial consultation where we learn about your property types and understand your reasoning for appeal.

Opportunity Analysis

We will review your commercial real estate portfolio and conduct research on relevant market information and trends. We’ll analyze how your jurisdiction values your properties and look for miscalculations to identify opportunities for assessment adjustments, with the goal of ensuring your properties are valued fairly and accurately.

Review

Once the Opportunity Analysis is complete, we’ll review it with you, explain the cost vs. benefits of an appeal, and discuss any possible risks you may see moving forward.
Though appeals can seem daunting, our real property tax experts are with you every step of the way.

File the Appeal

We handle filing the appeal with your specific jurisdiction, prepare the analysis presentation, and accompany you as representation at first-level hearings – all while keeping you informed and up to date throughout the entire process.

Reasons to Appeal Your Property Tax Assessment

While property taxes are a necessary part of ownership, inaccurate assessments can lead to overpayment and a severe financial burden. Let’s explore a few key reasons to appeal your assessment so your property taxes aren’t mistakenly affecting your bottom line.

Your assessment included the wrong details of a property: If you’ve uncovered inaccuracies in the details of your property, like building square footage, leasable area, or condition of the property, you have a solid basis for appeal.
Your assessment valued a property twice: If one of your properties was valued more than once on your assessment, you can rectify this error through appeal.
Your assessment didn’t value a property similarly to other properties nearby: If your property's assessment seems inconsistent with the valuations of neighboring properties, you’ll have grounds for appeal.
Your assessment increased above the legal limit: If your assessment skyrocketed beyond the legal cap in your state, you must file an appeal.
