How attorneys and CPAs benefit from our property tax appeal services

We don’t let the IRS determine our INCOME tax.

Why let the county assessor determine our PROPERTY tax?

The professionals that refer their clients to us say that they like having a CPA to solve their client property tax issues because we:

  • Specialize, so we a can be more efficient.
  • Charge a contingent fee, so the client only pays when we are successful.
  • Represent clients for personal property tax audits. We will handle the entire audit and typically find refunds for up to 4 years. This can be a huge opportunity.
  • Offer free reviews of existing valuations and tax payments.

How we help attorneys with property tax matters in California:

Shannon & Snyder CPAs are the go-to experts for property tax matters in California.

Generally, ownership changes of more than 50% cause properties to be reassessed at market value as of the date of change of ownership. This often occurs when estate planning attorneys advise their clients to transfer properties to trust or family partnerships. Likewise, property transfers after a death are subject to reassessment.

The Santa Clara County Assessor frequently values reassessments aggressively high. That’s where we come in.

We get frequent referrals from attorneys who think their clients are better served if we handle appeals of these new values because we specialize in property tax appeals and normally charge a contingent fee.
