Ohio’s Assertive Property Tax Reduction Lawyer

Property taxes can be a significant burden for residential and commercial property owners alike. At Brenden Kelley Law, we are committed to fairly reducing property tax obligations in Cuyahoga County, Lake County, Summit County, Geauga County, and beyond. We recognize that property taxes fund essential local services, but you should only pay based on your property’s accurate market value—no more, no less.


Excessive property taxes can strain your finances if your property’s assessed value doesn’t reflect its true, current worth. Our firm employs aggressive legal strategies to challenge and appeal unfair assessments, ensuring you only pay what you legitimately owe. By thoroughly reviewing valuation procedures—and working closely with trusted appraisers to establish a fair market value—we safeguard your financial interests so you can stay focused on what matters most.

 

Expertise in Property Tax Challenges

Drawing upon years of property tax experience, attorney Brenden Kelley—Ohio’s Assertive Property Tax Reduction Lawyer—teams with Lynn Arko Kelley, who served on the Cuyahoga County Board of Revision for over a decade, bringing insider insight into how property valuations are made.



This unique partnership has reduced millions of dollars in property assessments and saved clients hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes across Ohio. Whether you need guidance on filing a formal complaint or representation at a Board of Revision hearing, our blend of legal know-how and board-level perspective ensures a powerful advantage.

Challenging Your Property Value

If you think your property might be overvalued, it’s essential to act quickly due to strict appeal deadlines. We guide you through a step-by-step process:


  • Initial Review & Consultation
  • Our consultation fee is $300, which we credit toward our standard $3,000 flat fee for residential real estate if you decide to hire us. (Fees may vary based on your property’s complexity; contact us for a quote.)
  • We compare your current assessment with market data—and engage qualified appraisers—to pinpoint potential errors.

  • Filing a Formal Complaint
  • We manage all paperwork and ensure we meet every deadline, so your case moves forward without delays.

  • Evidence Collection & Presentation
  • We compile relevant sales data, appraisals, and expert testimonies to bolster your position.

  • Advocacy at Hearings
  • Whether we negotiate with the county auditor or present evidence before the Board of Revision, we vigorously advocate for a fair tax reduction.


If the initial decision is not in your favor, we stand ready to appeal to the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals, exploring every possible legal channel on your behalf.

How to Reduce My Property Taxes

Securing a property tax reduction involves legal expertise, in-depth research, and persuasive advocacy. Here’s how we help:

  • Assessment Corrections: We identify inaccuracies and push for corrections that align with your property’s true market value.
  • Homestead Exemptions: For qualifying property owners (including seniors and individuals with disabilities), we facilitate exemptions that significantly reduce your tax bill.
  • Renegotiation of Assessments: We present substantial evidence to county assessors, seeking voluntary or negotiated reductions in assessed value.
  • Litigation: If informal methods fail, we pursue aggressive litigation before local and state tax tribunals, ensuring no stone is left unturned.
