What drives the cost of property tax appeal in Marathon Township

  • Fee structure: hourly, flat fee, or contingency on tax savings where allowed
  • Residential versus commercial or multi-unit property
  • Whether an appraisal or expert testimony is needed
  • Number of parcels and tax years in dispute

  • Filing fees, separate from the attorney fee
  • The age of the home: the typical Marathon Township home was built around 1976, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Marathon Township

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Marathon Township was built around 1976. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Pre-war construction

19% of homes predate 1940. Expect plaster walls, balloon framing and possible asbestos in old pipe wrap or floor tile; test before demolition with a licensed asbestos contractor.

Permits: check with the Marathon Township building department before work starts.
