If you are a Chicago or Cook County homeowner, you need Farlap & Associates in your corner. I've trusted them with my property tax appeals for years!!!. They make the entire process completely easy for me. Every single year, they automatically review my assessment and advide me on how to submit the appeal paperwork. Thanks to their persistence, they've saved me thousands in assessed value. They are consistent, professional, and highly effective. Five stars all day! read more

Could not be more happy with the services provided by Farlap & Associates. My new property 'assessment' was beyond ridiculous and there was no way I was going to let it go without a fight. I reached out to my neighborhood Facebook mom's group and their name was recommended time & time again! Not only did they provide quick turn around but they are responsive and willing to go above and beyond to help. I especially appreciate the flat fee vs. the %age that some other companies charge. Will definitely be a lifetime customer. read more

Hey Angelo, Looks like a "going out of business fire sale" You charged me $275 for three years of non-help and now you have offered $99 for TEN YEARS? What business discounts their ONE and ONLY product by 90 PERCENT? It must be of very little value to your customers. "Take the money & Run?" I come with GOOD NEWS! Being that we have now been on our low, flat fee for over 10 Years, we are saying "THANK YOU!" with a CRAZY BLACK FRIDAY SALE! Current customers know I have done some pretty crazy deals on Black Fridays, this year is no exception! You need to see it to believe it! Before I get to the SALE, it's sad I have to mention this next part but I must. Because our Black Friday Deals usually go Above and Beyond, I need you to be understanding of the following. We have learned from past Black Friday experience, that some people who recently enrolled or renewed their accounts ask for refunds on the regular price they paid for recently so they can snag the Black Friday deal instead. We cannot do this because we are not Walmart with deep pockets and because we have a No Refund Policy. We do several sales every year to HELP people get past the rough spots in life. This SALE allows current customers to ADD A CRAZY AMOUNT of "ADDITIONAL TIME" to existing accounts and for new customers, at an UNBELIEVABLE price! We would be forced to deny and contest any such attempts to stop original payments. We then would stop all appeal services as we reserve the right to stop service for any reason, at any time. Please be aware we win 100% of charge back cases we contest by proving the credit security info was provided by the card holder to get the charge approved in the first place. This would then make the complaining party look bad to their bank, like they were trying to pull something shady (trying to slide out of charge they know they were responsible for) and risk account closure or other legal ramifications from their bank. Please do NOT put either of us in this position. Instead, let's be decent, honest, civil and let's kick some property taxes in the ass together for the NEXT 10 YEARS! PS. That's a hint on the Black Friday SALE ! read more

I have used Farlap for years, Angelo fights the good fight every day against the politicians trying to get in our pockets every year, and against the crooked lawyers just part of the crooked game. I have never missed a deadline and use Angelos instructions to keep my taxes in line and as low as possible. In this day and age, that's a win, even if my appeal is unsuccessful- the process still works!!! read more

I can't stop praising the customer service. There are few businesses that can offer answers and support as promptly as this. We can't emphasize enough the quality of service and the wealth of shared knowledge provided. If you're in Chicago, Angelo's business is a must-have! read more

I just received a letter from the Cook County Board of Review for a reduction in my 2023 assessed value of my property from the Cook County Board of Review thanks to Farlap & Associates. They provided detailed step-by-step instructions on how to file with an attached file of comparable properties. I have been appealing my assessment for years using various agencies that typically charge 50 percent of the annual savings. I was very surprised to see that I will be saving over $800 on my 2023 property taxes by appealing on my own with the help of Farlap & Associates. read more

Farlap is worth it just based on its low fee! $99 per year or $225 for a 3-yr package, you are almost guaranteed to save more than that on your property taxes and I did! I got the 3-year package and I've already saved over $750 in taxes over 2 years of appeal in Chicago. My dad is used to appealing for property taxes on his own for his home in Schaumburg where the taxes are incredibly high but he also decided to sign up with Farlap. That is a huge testament because my dad was willing to pay for property tax reduction services when he was used to doing it for free. My favorite part about Farlap's family business is how AMAZING and IRREPLICABLE their customer service is! They pick up the phone right away, will stay on for 30 minutes or longer to walk you through all your questions with the utmost patience. They make sure you understand the savings and the steps that occurred. I have high expectations for customer service having been in retail myself, but Farlap goes above and beyond my expectations as well! I am truly stunned at how cheap their service is for how good they are! read more

Good value for a great independent service. It's been worth it to have Farlap's help to keep on top of the property tax appeal process and always have good PIN comparisons to submit, and usually I've gotten a reduction that makes it well worth it. read more

Thank you once again to Farlap & Associates for helping me save a bundle on my Chicago property tax.... I just got a letter from the Cook County Board of Review and they said they agreed that they were asking too much.... and I'll save $1,209.42 over the next two years for $2,418.84 in total savngs! Farlap & Associates, who have saved me thousands of dollars over the last few yearsm only charges $130 a year ... less if you buy several years together. They give you everything you need to send in a real challenge online...it only takes about five minutes. read more

It's a dog fight to get your property taxes lowered or just make sure they are not jacked up sky high. Angelo and Farlap & Associates are the Pitbull you need in your corner. read more

Farlap & Associates are the only reason we have not relocated to another state because of outrageous real estate taxation. With their help our taxes have substantially been reduced. Please give them a call . For the small fee it is worth it. read more

I'm new to Furlap & Associates.. we paid for their 3 year package and are waiting (I think) on getting an action email. The service seems fine. It's more affordable than other lawyers in the area (he's not a lawyer).To be completely honest though the owner was overwhelming. He spoke so quickly and nonstop. We couldn't get a word in edgewise. I put him on speaker and went about my day. When I would try to ask a question I couldn't get it out or he'd talk at break-neck speed for the next 15 minutes. I'm not sure... but I think it's their sales tactic. If you get through the sales pitch .. and can understand what's going on, and have patience... I think the service will be good. read more

I am very impressed by a service provided by Farlap and Associates. They are not only very professional, but what is more important very effective. In the past I have used a few different companies and I only spent money without any results. I am recommending Farlap and Associates services to all my friends. read more

I've been using Farlap for 4 years now. Angelo and the team have helped me save a few grand so far through 3 separate appeals. Totally worth the value and they always answer the phone or call me back. Highly recommend, especially for the price. read more

So easy - 30 minutes saved me thousands of dollars! Much better than using an attorney and giving them a large % of your savings! Thank you, Farlap! read more

If you live in Cook County then Farlap and Associates is the only service that you should be using to appeal your property taxes. If you want to understand why and when your property taxes increase as well as how and when to appeal, visit their website and watch Angelo's videos that explain the crooked property tax system in Cook County. He makes it so easy for anyone to appeal their taxes. His team always delivers excellent customer service and are very responsive. I had previously used attorneys to submit appeals on my behalf and while I did get positive results on a few occasions, the results that I have had under the guidance of Farlap and Associates has exceeded those results exponentially. Give Farlap and Associates a try. He charges a miniscule flat fee for what you will save in return and doesn't keep a percentage of the savings. read more

I just used them. Angelo is great. He took me through the process, told me what to expect, and then held my hand through the on-line "paperwork" and finished it with me. He also saved me money due to not claiming my Home owner's exemption tax... So I made an extra $1500... Not too bad. Anyway, highly recommended! I'll update later if there are any issues. read more

Angelo at Farlap and Associates is who you talk to, to get your taxes lowered. My property taxes sky rocketed when I moved but I emailed Angelo at 1130 at night and he responded right away. Great customer service, always willing to answer your questions and lowering my property taxes. read more

Being a first time user of your services, I was impressed as to the detail of the information that was needed to file that you provided. I was also surprised as to the information on your instructions on how to file and what to expect. Koodos to you and your assist. Will be recommending your services again. read more

This guy showed up at my doorstep and was able to complete the whole process inside of 10 mins. It seems a bit sketchy at first but he's on top of his stuff and I would recommend him as his flat fee is far more reasonable than hiring atty that takes fee on commission basis read more

Three years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Angelo he has a very square well-rounded gentleman. He will give you an honest opinion of what's happening with your property taxes. He got me $1200 in refunds and did not charge me a nickel for it. All the competition takes 33 to 50% of whatever they reduce you and 33 to 50% of your refund checks. Angelo gets refunds for all of his clients at absolutely no cost. I highly recommend them. You can go to their website and watch an 11 minute video called how it works plus our guarantee. www.AppealUnfairPropertyTax.com read more

At first glance it looks like a no-frills, low overhead, small business. That's probably what keeps their fees low. Also, the owner and only full-time employee has efficiently modernized the business. This also has put a ceiling on their fees. I've explored other "firms" and companies to lower my property taxes but these big shots just charge too much. Almost all the gotten savings from lower property taxes are swallowed up by their exorbitant fees and the percentage of their take. I'd rather pay higher taxes and fund CTU pensions than pay some gouging one-percenter whose face I'll never see. I recommend trying Farlap. If he can't get your prop taxes down then you can try the more expensive attorneys at law places, a couple of which are run by chicago aldermen, Illinois state representatives and their campaign donors who all want our property taxes raised. I haven't found a better deal than the Farlap's flat $125 fee. On the initial try he saved me $500 on my place. That's like a 300% dividend every year on my $125 investment. It's a no-brainer. read more

Angelo has helped us save thousands over the past 2 years. His services cost right around $125/year but most attorneys charge a percentage of what they save you each year... that can add up to thousands. You do the math! read more

Angelo is great. For $125 a year or less if you get the multi year package, he fights for your property taxes. He got me a $2000 decrease almost every year. He is trustworthy and a pleasure to work with. Many thanks. read more

Great experience. Very knowledgable. They were able to lower my property tax. Will highly recommend

This guy talks too much and really doesn't do any help. I came to him for my property tax to be lowered and there was really no results. I paid money twice and both times my property tax got higher. read more

In 2017 I submitted an appeal on my own to lower my property taxes (single family home in Rogers Park) and was happy to receive a $300 or so reduction in my annual property taxes. The following autumn I responded to a "Black Friday" promotional email from Farlap and Associates because the flat fee price was reasonable -- less than attorney and firms who would take a percentage of any tax reduction -- and I wanted to see what would happen. Angelo was very helpful in explaining the process before I bought in so I managed expectations. And he continually answers my questions when I reach out to him by phone and email. I never felt ignored or neglected when seeking information. And throughout the appeal process, he holds your hand and provides detailed step by step instructions on how to submit everything. This time, for the 2018 three year cycle, Farlap and Associates reduced my property taxes by $655.28 this year...more than twice the amount reduced when I appealed on my own. For a reasonable fee and great customer service and results (!) I highly recommend Farlap and Associates for assistance in appealing property taxes read more
