What the property looks like here

Genesee carries substantial industrial and former industrial property, commercial along the I-69 and I-75 corridors, and a wide residential range. Values differ sharply between communities within the county, which makes the choice of comparables decisive.

Where values vary this much across short distances, the comparables an assessment relies on matter more than usual. They are on the record, and they can be examined.

The part most people are never told

A lower assessment does not automatically lower your bill

Michigan calculates your property tax on Taxable Value, not on Assessed Value. They are two different numbers on the same notice, and for most property that has not changed hands recently, Taxable Value is the lower of the two. It is capped, and it rises slowly.

After a successful appeal, your Taxable Value becomes whichever is lower: what it already was, or your new Assessed Value. So winning a reduction in Assessed Value only reaches this year's bill if the value we can justify falls below your current Taxable Value.

If it does not, the appeal is real and the saving is zero. That is not a fine-print exception. It is the ordinary case for a property somebody has owned for a while.

What we check before we encourage anybody

The assessment we can support must be lower than your current Taxable Value.

If that is not true for your parcel, we tell you there are no first-year savings. We do not put you into a follow-up sequence and we do not show you a hypothetical.

Fees in Genesee County

The same schedule everywhere we work. No upfront fee, and no fee at all without a reduction.

Commercial, industrial, mixed use

Contingency on first-year savings

Standard: 33% of first-year savings
Signed within 10 days of our written offer: 30% of first-year savings
Three or more parcels: 25% of first-year savings

The 10-day window runs from the timestamp on the engagement offer we send you. We do not restart it, and it is not a countdown on a page.

Residential

$199 flat, win only

$199 flat fee, charged only if we obtain a reduction.
No fee at all if we do not.
We take residential cases where the projected first-year saving is at least $700. Below that, the appeal is not worth your money and we will say so.

Every engagement runs 3 assessment years, with an annual review and refiling. There is no upfront fee on either schedule, and no outcome is guaranteed.
