Tax Assessment Appeal Services

In 2008 and again in 2009, The Coyle Group assisted hundreds of property owners reduce their property tax liability by an average of more than 20%. Our appraisers and reports have appeared successfully at tax appeal hearings in Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Berks counties. We are aware of what the Boards require and expect in a valuation and the Boards are familiar with our appraisers and their work.

Most localities determine your property tax burden based on an ad valorem assessment of the property's value. Sometimes, as a property owner, you get an unwanted surprise in the mail telling you your taxes are going up, and sometimes it may seem as though your assessment is too high.

Matters like this cannot be resolved with a phone call.  There are appeal deadlines and procedures that must be followed.  It is very rare that a taxing authority will lower your assessment out of the goodness of their heart.  The burden of proof is on you as the property owner to demonstrate that your property is over-assessed.  You will need to produce an unbiased third-party opinion of the value of your property...that's were we come in.

There are as many different procedures for appealing assessments as there are property taxing districts, so it's important to enlist the help of a professional appraisal firm that's experienced and trained in the ins and outs of your particular jurisdiction. 

Often you will have a hearing on your assessment appeal and will need for the appraiser you've hired to testify on your behalf. Be assured that at The Coyle Group, LLC, we are able to professionally and persuasively testify at appeal hearings.

Please note: It makes sense to do your own research before determining whether to go forward with a property assessment appeal, especially before you make the decision to hire a professional appraiser. However, according to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), we are not allowed to take "shortcuts" -- i.e., your research -- and use it on its face as part of our independent evaluation. When you hire us for an assessment appeal, you're commissioning an independent, third-party professional appraisal report. As such we do our own evaluation, beginning to end. If you're right that your property has been overvalued, an independent report such as ours will be even more persuasive than any other evidence you can marshal on your own. But it depends on our ability to do the work independently.
