Expert Arbitration Services
Property Tax Arbitration Services offer a powerful solution for property owners seeking fair tax assessments. This specialized real estate service provides an alternative to traditional appeals, allowing property owners to challenge excessive valuations efficiently. A skilled property tax consultant can guide clients through the arbitration process, presenting compelling evidence to an independent arbitrator.
Unlike the Appraisal Review Board (ARB) hearings, arbitration often leads to quicker resolutions and can be more cost-effective for higher-value properties. By leveraging expert arbitration services, owners can potentially secure significant tax savings, ensure equitable treatment, and gain a clearer understanding of their property’s true market value in today’s competitive real estate landscape.
Our extensive experience includes notable projects such as:
- Case Preparation: We gather and analyze all necessary data, including comparable sales, income and expense data, and market trends, to build a strong case.
- Presentation: We present compelling evidence and arguments to the arbitrator, advocating for a fair assessment of your property’s value.
- Expert Testimony: Our experienced appraisers provide expert testimony to support your case, ensuring that the arbitrator has all the information needed to make an informed decision.
- Resolution Support: We assist with the resolution of disputes, ensuring that the final decision is implemented accurately and fairly.

Determine the Scope of Work
We begin by understanding the purpose of the arbitration—whether it’s for contesting an overvaluation, reducing tax liability, or addressing other tax concerns. The scope is defined based on your property type, appraisal methods, and specific goals.
- Property Inspection: Our certified appraisers visit the site to assess both interior and exterior conditions, including structural integrity, layout, and any improvements. Detailed photographs and measurements are taken to ensure accurate valuation for tax purposes.
- Data Collection: We gather comprehensive property details, such as size, age, layout, and features. This is followed by a market analysis, considering neighborhood trends and economic factors that affect property values and tax assessments.
Evaluation & Analysis
- Sales Approach: We compare recent sales of similar properties to determine the fair market value, adjusting for differences to support tax arbitration.
- Cost Approach: We calculate land value and replacement costs for improvements, adjusting for depreciation.
- Income Approach: For income-generating properties, we estimate value based on net operating income, market rents, and applicable capitalization rates.
- Valuation Process: Using a combination of the sales, cost, and income approaches, we determine the accurate market value for the property. Adjustments are made to ensure fairness in the tax arbitration process. When more than one approach is applicable, we average the findings.
- Report Preparation: We prepare a detailed report, including an executive summary, property analysis, and valuation conclusion, tailored for property tax arbitration. The report undergoes internal review to ensure accuracy and compliance with arbitration standards.
- Delivery & Client Communication: The final appraisal report is delivered on time, with full support to explain the findings and answer any questions. We provide ongoing assistance throughout the arbitration process, ensuring your case is well-prepared.
