Property Tax Appeal

 

With over 15 years experience in tax appeals (many before he was an attorney), Mr. Levitt thoroughly understands what the Assessor never seems to acknowledge, true fair market value. Mr. Levitt, to date, has won 100% of his appeals in Orange, Riverside, San Bernardo and LA counties. Contact us to discuss your particular real or personal property tax issue. In many cases, our fees are paid-back in the first year’s savings after re-valuation. The following are just a few of the recent tax appeal victories:

Case #1: SFR assessed value of $1,297,000, on appeal reduced to $1,120,000. Client savings is almost $2000.00 annually

Case #2: 189,000 sq. ft. industrial building. Mr Levitt was successful in having the assessed value lowered by almost $2M and saving his client over $20,000.00 annually.

Case #3: Outdoor racetrack. Assessor imputed $1.3M in value based upon owner being a “celebrity”. Mr. Levitt fought this method of valuation twice in front of the Board and against almost a dozen members of the county assessor and county counsel. Mr. Levitt was successful in his argument and the property assessed value was reduced by over $1.3M. This victory saved the client over $15,000 annually in taxes.

Case #4: 57’ Viking Sport Fisher assessed value of $519,000, on appeal reduced to $289,000. Client savings is approximately $2,000.00 annually.

Past case results are no indication of future outcome. Each case is unique and has its own variables and elements which will weigh heavily on the ultimate result.
