Service Performed Note that you are not required by law to use a tax reduction service in order to file for and/or receive a tax assessment reduction.

Fee We do not charge any fee upfront. If there is no reduction, there is NO FEE. Our fee is determined by getting you a reduction in the property’s assessment. If the assessment is reduced the actual tax savings = the reduced assessment multiplied by the tax rate prior to exemptions. If you receive a reduction, our discounted fee is 50% of the first year’s savings plus a $75.00 property evaluation fee. If you provide us with a current appraisal that we can use, the $75.00 fee may be waived. This discounted fee will apply if payment is received within 30 days from the date of our invoice, at this time, you will also receive official documentation that we won your case.
