Does my property qualify?
Due to the recent unprecedented declines in property values, thousands of homeowners are now eligible for a huge property tax reduction under Prop 8. Properties purchased in 2005, 2006, or 2007 are most likely to qualify. We recommend you complete our form for your free estimate.
How much does this service cost?
We charge a flat fee starting at $299.00 (based on your assessed value). We guarantee savings of at least $299.00 or your money back! Some other companies charge $99 upfront then take 50% of the savings. We think you’ll find more value in our service. We even offer repeat customer and referral discounts.
How long does the process take?
Once your appeal is submitted to the county, there will be a 4-6 week process time. Once the county has processed the appeal, you will be notified of their acceptance. Once accepted by the county, we’ll start to build our case and provide as much evidence as possible to backup the values stated on the appeal. This process can take up to 60 days before the value is finalized. After the value is finalized, the county will send you a notice regarding the amount of your refund. From start to finish, the process can take 3-6 months. We handle everything for you so you don’t have to worry about the details.
Can I cancel my order?
Once we submit your application to the county, your order can not be canceled. You hired us to act on your behalf. Fees are non-refundable once work has begun your property, except if we can’t get your property taxes reduced by at least the amount you paid us.
What is the deadline for my county?
Each county has different filing deadlines and guidelines. Check our website for a list of counties we service and their deadlines.
Do you service properties outside of California?
No. At this time, we only service selected counties in California. Check our website for a complete list.
What happens if my property declines further in value next year?
If your property taxes continue to decline next year, you may be eligible again next year for another reduction. The county will automatically adjust for the decline in property values. However, they don’t always adjust down low enough. Your property may be assessed higher than it is really worth. This means you are paying too much for property taxes.
I missed the deadline for my county, now what?
Your appeal must be filed before the deadline for the respective county. If you miss the deadline, you’ll have to wait until next year to file. By then, property values will have changed again and you might have missed your chance for a reduction in taxes.
What is included in the service fee?
Our flat rate service fee includes: property assessment, application submission, researching the comps, appraised values, negotiating with the county assessor’s office, and guaranteed results.
Do you guarantee results?
Yes! We will lower your property taxes. If we can’t lower them by at least the amount of our service fee, then we will refund 100% off your payment made to us (less any referral credits/discount already applied).
Can I file the property tax reduction paperwork myself?
Yes. You can file your own property tax appeal. But you will have search for the correct form, Go the county assessor’s office to get the correct form.
