Refund Policy
A legal disclaimer
Heritage Property Tax Consultants, LLC
Effective Date: [Insert Date]
At Heritage Property Tax Consultants, LLC (“Heritage,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), we are committed to providing high-quality consultation services. Because our work involves professional time, research, and custom analysis, we have established the following refund policy:
Refund Policy
Consultation Fees (Flat Rate or Hourly Services)
Fees paid for initial consultations, flat-rate services, or hourly consultations are non-refundable once the service has been rendered or work has commenced. Work may include one or all of the following:
-
Preliminary tax analysis
-
Document review
-
Verbal or written recommendations
-
Market or comparable assessments
-
Analysis of eligibility for specific exemptions
-
Assistance with applying for property exemptions
-
Assistance with applying for property tax refunds
​
If a consultation is canceled at least 24 hours in advance, and no work has begun, a refund may be issued minus a small administrative fee (typically 5–10%).
​
Appeal-Based Services (Contingency or Performance-Based)
If your service agreement is based on a contingency model (e.g., a percentage of tax savings), you are only billed if we achieve a result defined in your engagement terms.
In such cases:
-
If we cannot successfully help you reduce your assessment ratio, assessed property value, or tax liability, your consultation fee is the only fee owed.
-
Consultation fees are not refundable.
-
Refunds are unavailable if a contingency fee is billed following a successful result, as the fee is tied directly to delivered performance.
​
Service Cancellations
If you cancel a project after work has started but before completion:
-
You may be billed for the portion of work already completed.
-
Any prepaid amount beyond that may be eligible for a partial refund, at our sole discretion.
To request cancellation, please contact us in writing at [Insert Email Address].
​
Refund Requests
Refund requests must be submitted in writing within 10 business days of the disputed charge or service issue. Include:
-
Your full name and contact information
-
A description of the service and reason for the request
-
Any relevant documentation or correspondence
We will respond within 5–7 business days with a resolution or request for additional information.
​
Discretionary Exceptions
We reserve the right to issue refunds outside of this policy in exceptional cases, such as:
-
Billing errors
-
Duplicate payments
-
Technical issues preventing service delivery
All decisions are made at our discretion and will be documented in writing.
