PROPERTY TAX ASSESSMENT APPEAL

If you have purchased real estate within the past 5 years, (2003-2008), there is a high probability that you are OVER PAYING ON YOUR PROPERTY TAXES and we can help. Since 1992, Assessment Appeal Advisors, a division of CRC, has worked to provide our clients with premier assessment appeal services.  We also provide Direct Assessment Fees appeal service for the fees on your property tax bill.

Under Proposition 8 (passed by the people in 1978), if your property's current market value is less than the assessed value, you are entitled to an equivalent reduction in your property taxes upon appeal.

Assessment Appeal Advisors-AAA specializes in contesting unfair property tax assessments and direct assessment fees.   We have 20 years experience working with the County Assessors and Assessment Appeals Boards in order to reduce our clients’ property taxes.

We charge NO UPFRONT FEES and ONLY EARN A FEE IF WE ARE SUCCESSFUL. If we are not successful in reducing your property taxes/direct assessment fees, you pay us nothing – NO SAVINGS, NO FEE DUE.

Put our experience of over 5200 successful appeals to work for you. Our staff has close to 20 years experience in assessment appeals and tax reduction as well as experience as brokers, lenders and owners, which provides us with a unique knowledge and advantage.   We will prepare and present the application for review of assessment, perform a market analysis of your property’s present value, act as agent for you in negotiations with county appraisers and represent you at the hearing(s) before the Assessment Appeals Board, if required.

Direct Assessments Fees appear on your property tax bill for public services.  These fees may include stormwater, flood control, park district, trauma/emergency and other miscellaneous fees.  Direct Assessments are levied on the property tax bill by the tax collector on behalf of the local levying agency or district.

Most Direct Assessment fees are not based on property value.  Appealing these fees will in no way impact your property value.  This service is entirely seperate from your property tax assessment appeal.  Direct Assessment fees are typically based on the size and use of the parcel(s).  Assessment Appeal Advisors will perform an initial audit on your property(s) to determine if your property qualifies for a refund or adjustment.  We will go back up to four years from the current tax year to get you the maximum refund or adjustment available.
