Why owners hire this service
Successful appeals in Park City rely on market-supported valuation — and a case the county will actually concede on.
Summit County uses broad mass-appraisal models. Those models over-apply premiums on ski-in/out, custom builds, and luxury neighborhoods where no two properties are truly comparable. Your appeal has to speak the county's language while pointing at the actual market.
Every appeal is built around recent comparable sales, $/sqft analysis, and disparate-and-unequal treatment under Utah Code 59-2-1006(4). That's why the success rate holds at 97% — appeals only get filed when the case is clear.
You pay only when an appeal produces a tax reduction. The review before filing is at no cost and no obligation.
How the appeal process works
Your property has been reviewed and has been identified by our proprietary software as being overvalued.
Representation — form authorizing PBI to file the appeal on your behalf. Fee — form agreeing to 35% of realized savings on a successful appeal. No fee if no savings.
Comparable sales, $/sqft analysis, and the basis-of-appeal argument under Utah Code 59-2-1006(4). The county sees the same data they use — applied correctly.
The appeal is filed with the Summit County Board of Equalization between August 1 and September 15. You don't need to attend the hearing — I handle the negotiation directly.
You receive an updated assessment notice. Fee is owed only on a successful outcome — 35% of the first year's tax savings. No savings, no fee.

Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions that come up before a property review.
Yes. Every Summit County homeowner has the right to appeal their assessed value through the Board of Equalization between August 1 and September 15 each year. Once that window closes, the assessment is locked for the following tax year.
In 2025, reductions ranged from 2% to 30% of assessed value. The average successful 2025 appeal reduced assessed value by $635,175. Annual tax savings depend on your district's millage rate (roughly 0.56% in most Park City districts), so each $1M of reduction returns about $5,600 per year.
When supported by accurate market data and a strong basis of appeal, yes. The hardest part is that Utah is a non-disclosure state — sale prices are not publicly available, so most homeowners can't access the data they need to prove over-assessment on their own. That's the work this service does.
The review and analysis are free. Appeals are taken on a contingency basis — 35% of the first-year tax savings. If the appeal isn't successful, you owe nothing. No upfront cost, no retainer.
Once a property has been identified by our proprietary software as overvalued, two documents are sent via DocuSign for signature — the representation form and the fee agreement. Everything else (comparable sales, $/sqft analysis, and the basis-of-appeal document) gets built from county and MLS records.
No. The Summit County Board of Equalization accepts written evidence packages, and I handle the negotiation with the assessor's office directly. You receive an updated assessment notice once the case closes.
