Step 1Portfolio review
Every parcel, every county, this year’s notices against last year’s values.
Step 2Valuation analysis
Income, cost and uniformity, using the county’s own assessments of comparable property.
Step 3Filing in every county
In the form each county accepts, before its deadline, confirmation on file.
Step 4Negotiation and hearing
The assessor first, then the board or a hearing officer. We appear; you get the decision. This is where our relationships set us apart.

Three local citizens, run by the Clerk of Superior Court. The default.

Hearing officer
