You shouldn’t pay for an appeal unless it actually lowers your property taxes. That is how we set things up.
If we don’t reduce your property taxes, you owe us nothing. If we do, our fee is 25% of the tax you save in the first year after the county finalizes the change. It isn’t a flat fee or an hourly rate, and you don’t pay until the outcome is clear.
A win means your property taxes go down because of the appeal we file and handle for you. A full reduction counts, and so does a partial one: if the county lowers your assessment and your bill drops, that is a win.
If your assessment stays the same or the appeal ends with no savings on your tax bill, that is not a win. In that case you do not owe us a success fee.
We get paid only when you save on taxes.
When we win, the fee is based on the actual tax savings in the first year after the lower bill takes effect. It is not tied to your home’s value or to the assessment number by itself.
Example: Say your property tax for the year drops by $1,200 after the appeal. Our fee would be $300 (25% of $1,200). You keep the rest of that year’s savings. In most cases the lower assessment also helps you in later years, and we do not charge again for that same reduction.
Sometimes the numbers don’t support a strong case, or an appeal might not be worth the trouble. If so, we will say so. There is no charge for that review.
Referrals work the same way: we only earn a fee when there is a real tax reduction for the owner. If we don’t deliver savings, the owner pays us nothing.
