FAQ

Common questions before you request a packet.

Appeal Watch is built for homeowners who want the appeal mess organized, not another vague explanation. These answers are intentionally plain about coverage, refunds, automation limits, privacy, and outcome risk.

Why not just use ChatGPT?

ChatGPT can explain a property tax appeal. Appeal Watch is designed to run a repeatable workflow: capture the property facts, map the county source path, organize comps and repair evidence, draft the packet, track the deadline, and create an outcome record.

Do you guarantee a lower assessment?

No. Counties control assessment decisions, filing acceptance, hearing schedules, and final values. Appeal Watch can help organize a stronger packet, but it cannot guarantee savings or a value reduction.

What do I get?

A practical packet draft: assessment summary, value argument, uniformity table, condition evidence checklist, filing notes, owner task list, and hearing prep notes where appropriate.

Is this legal or tax advice?

No. Appeal Watch is educational and organizational software. Cases needing legal strategy, formal appraisal opinions, engineering causation, or representation should go to qualified professionals.

Which counties are supported?

Private launch starts narrow. Columbia County is the first private-launch review path. Gwinnett, Fulton, and Cobb have guide-ready pages. Check County Coverage Status before assuming packet support.

What if my deadline is close?

Urgent cases may be declined or handled as best-effort only. Georgia assessment appeals often have a 45-day notice window, and the homeowner is responsible for confirming and meeting the official deadline.

What if I am unhappy?

The private-launch posture is reputation-first. If Appeal Watch cannot reasonably help, the product should say so. Refund handling should be generous before customized work is complete.

Will my address be public?

No customer address should be published as marketing proof without explicit permission. Public demo data uses synthetic addresses and parcel numbers, and privacy QA blocks real demo identifiers from public web surfaces.

1

Request first

Submit address, county, notice status, current value, target value, and evidence notes.

2

Coverage check

Appeal Watch checks county support level and whether the case fits the packet workflow.

3

Packet path

If the case fits, the packet process moves to documents, comps, evidence, and filing notes.

4

Outcome follow-up

Paid cases should be tracked after filing so future savings claims are based on actual results.

Still fit?

Start with the request. The first real deliverable is a fit and deadline read.

Do not wait until the appeal clock is almost gone.
