Property Tax Eagle


How You are Served

Property Tax Eagle handles the entire process as your property tax value consultant. We assure the official assessment/appraisal that determines your tax bill is correct. You pay only the minimum property tax required.

 
Preliminary Evaluation
A Preliminary Value Report (PVR) is prepared to determine if your property is correctly valued and therefore taxed fairly. In many cases, property is overvalued 20% to 70% more than its Fair Market Value. We suggest the best plan in a detailed written report to you.

 
When No Action is Warranted
Where property does not warrant the initiation of a real property value appeal, upon your request, we continue to monitor your property for two additional tax years. If we have not generated a significant savings to you, no fees are earned and you owe us nothing.

 
When Your Property is Over-valued
The PVR includes a recommendation whether an appeal should be undertaken. If accepted the agreed upon retainer fee is collected. We may meet with the local taxing authority and use our expert analysis to prove your property is overvalued in an administrative setting. A technical correction can be made immediately lowering your tax liability at that time.

 
When an Appeal is Warranted
Inclusive in our fee, we assist you in initiating the appropriate real property tax appeal: We (a) generate the official evidence necessary to support an appeal; (b) complete and file the necessary forms; (c) where relief can only be obtained by a formal appeal, we will represent you at the appeal hearing.

 
Additional Support
A report by a Licensed Property Appraiser or Broker Consultant is sometimes needed to negotiate with representative of the taxing jurisdictions. On occasion, an Attorney is needed to pursue the appeal, either administratively or judicially. We may hire highly qualified licensed appraisers and attorneys at our cost. No additional fees are passed on to our clients. All action is taken only with your prior approval.


Tax Agent
We will work with your tax preparer, CPA or attorney at your direction, to aid compiling of the necessary financial information and property data for your personal or business tax returns. Eagle serves as consultants defined in our Letter of Authorization and Agreement. Property Tax Eagle is not represented as licensed tax professionals or licensed agents.
