The Pinellas County Property Tax Appeals process can be seen as daunting and confusing. However, filing an appeal could help you secure lower property tax rates. Each year, thousands of appeals are filed, and Pinellas County welcomes them. Appeals give Pinellas County the chance to review and appraise the property- something they otherwise would not have if it weren’t for the appeal.
ARE Solutions Property Tax Consulting Services has extensive experience in the field, having helped over 1,000 customers save millions of dollars. Our experience and customer satisfaction rating ensures that you will be in good hands when you work with us. By working with an expert property tax consulting service in your area, you’ll have the best chance at securing lower property tax rates.
Our property tax consulting services handle every aspect of the process. Even though you could choose to file a property tax appeal yourself, you’ll save time and money by working with a local property tax expert like ARE Solutions. Without the help of an expert consultant, it is easy to mix some of these steps up, which could lead to missing important deadlines.
In summary, there are four main aspects to a property tax appeal: property tax review, appeal filing, evidence collecting and exchanging, and hearing representation.
During your property tax review, we will visit your property and assess your eligibility for a reduction. With our extensive experience in Pinellas County, we are confident in our ability to determine the assessed value of your property and can offer guidance on your next steps. Please note, you must have at least two weeks before the Pinellas County property tax appeal deadline for us to begin the review process.
If we elect to move forward, we will take care of your property tax appeal filing. This will cost you $25 and will be the only fee you pay us until we’ve secured you a lower property tax rate. If your appeal is successful at lowering your property tax rate, you will only pay us 33% of your total savings for one year. The rest is yours.
After your appeal is filed, we will work on preparing the necessary evidence to best support your property tax appeal. Our extensive experience in the Pinellas County market, including our experience working with other properties, will be used to put together local evidence to build the strongest case possible. We will exchange evidence with the property appraiser’s office in preparation for your hearing.
Lastly, we will represent you at your property tax appeal hearing with the Value Adjustment Board, ensuring that you receive your property tax refund as quickly and easily as possible. It’s important to note that you should still pay your property taxes by the required date, even if we are in the process of appealing. The ARE Solutions team will walk you through the entire process so that you can take advantage of your savings.

“Last year our firm used ARE Solutions to appeal our valuation and saved $3,320 or 26% of the initial real estate tax bill! It was well worth what little effort I had to make – I only wish I’d have done this years before. ”
