Step 1: Gather Your Documentation

The first step in appealing your tax assessment is gathering all of the necessary documentation and creating your case. This includes items such as sales data from similar properties in your area and any other evidence that could prove that your assessment is too high. You will also need to provide photographs and other documents that demonstrate the condition of your property and prove its value.

The experts at Alpha Appraisal can help you gather all of this information and compile your report quickly and efficiently so that you can submit it on time for consideration. They have access to industry-leading software that can provide up-to-date sales data for comparison purposes and their team has years of experience in appraising homes for tax assessments cases just like yours.

Step 2: Submit Your Case

Once you have gathered all of the necessary information and created your case, you will need to submit it for consideration by the King County Assessor's Office within 30 days from when the notice was issued or within 60 days from when taxes were due (whichever comes first). The process may seem daunting but with Alpha Appraisal on your side, you don’t have to worry about missing deadlines.

Step 3: Wait for a Response

Once you have submitted your case, all there is left to do is wait for a response from the Assessor's Office. Generally speaking, this should not take longer than two weeks after they receive all of the required documents from all parties involved in the appeal process. Once they issue their decision, they will notify you via mail or email.
