Built on 13 years inside many of the country's largest property tax firms — the same methodology and rigor, restructured around you.
No Win, No Fee
We earn our fee only when you save — aligning our interests completely with yours.
Full-Service Representation
From initial review through final hearing, we handle every step of the process.
Fair Fee Structure
Our contingency rate scales down as your property and tax bill grow — so larger appeals are charged a lower, fairer rate.
A Fee Structure Built for You
Most property tax consultants charge a flat contingency — a fixed percentage of your savings, regardless of the size of your property. We think that's unfair. Our fee structure is different by design.
Contingency Fee Matrix
Our contingency rate decreases as your property's annual tax liability grows. Larger, higher-taxed properties pay a lower rate — because a fair fee should reflect the full picture, not just the savings number.
No Windfall Rates
The bigger the tax bill, the lower our rate. Where the old model takes a flat 25% on even the largest appeals, our matrix drops as low as 8% — so a major reduction never becomes a windfall fee.
Transparent. Aligned. Fair.
We only earn when you save — and the more you save, the lower our rate.

Get StartedData Centers
Data centers combine massive capital investment with blurred lines between real and personal property — exposing taxpayers to double taxation and inconsistent classification. Compounding the challenge, limited case law leaves even experienced tax professionals without clear guidance. We bring dedicated expertise to this rapidly evolving asset class, protecting your investment from over-assessment.
Data Center Tax Deep DiveExpert Witness & Litigation Support
When appeals escalate to formal litigation, we serve as an expert witness — providing defensible valuation opinions before tax courts and tribunals.
Get StartedComplex Property Review
For properties with both significant real estate and personal property components, we review the full assessment holistically. Analyzing both sides together uncovers classification overlaps, double-assessment risks, and savings opportunities that a siloed review would miss — ensuring your total tax position is accurate and defensible.
Get StartedBusiness Personal Property Review
We review your personal property renditions to remove pollution control equipment, ghost assets, and non-taxable software that are frequently over-reported. We also ensure every asset is classified into its most advantageous category — often unlocking meaningful reductions without changing a single line of your underlying records.
Get StartedWhere the Extra Work Paid Off
Four engagements from the founder's career. The common thread: every one was won by work most consultants skip — walking the property, understanding the business, and building the valuation model the case actually called for.
The prior consultant had never set foot on the property — the valuation ran straight off the income statement, something any firm can do. Touring with stakeholders and dissecting the operation revealed that a significant share of the food-and-beverage business was actually handled offsite. Savings: $630K a year, four years running.
Won by knowing the business How We Work Hotel CasesThe county had valued deeded timeshare weeks like whole condos, using whole-unit sales from around the valley. Understanding the deeded-week structure — and building a valuation model specific to how those weeks are allocated — cut the assessment by 60% and saved $790K over the two-year cycle.
Won by building the right modelTwelve years after construction, a site tour and a detailed walkthrough with the onsite manager surfaced what the assessment had missed: one of the property's three data cells had fallen severely behind modern spec. A documented cost-to-cure presented to the assessor delivered $110K in annual savings.
Won by walking the propertyIn 2021, we were early to quantify COVID's impact on a large call center — then held firm on that valuation through a market with no sales to point to. When the case finally settled in 2025, the client recovered years of savings in a single $700K refund.
Won by convictionResults achieved by SVA's founder across his 13-year career, including engagements while at prior national firms. Every property and jurisdiction is different — past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
