Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher than comparable sales, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Minnesota?
You typically have 30 days from when assessment notices are mailed to file an appeal. Don't wait until the last minute as gathering supporting evidence takes time.
Can you guarantee a reduction in my property taxes?
No ethical consultant can guarantee results. However, we only take cases where we believe there's strong evidence of overassessment and good potential for success.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely depending on the degree of overassessment and strength of evidence. Successful appeals often result in 10-30% assessment reductions.
Do I need an appraisal for my property tax appeal?
Not always. We can often build successful cases using comparable sales data, property condition issues, or income analysis for commercial properties.
What happens if my appeal is denied at the local level?
You can appeal to the Tax Court of Minnesota. As attorneys, we can represent you in court proceedings that many consultants cannot handle.
Will appealing my assessment hurt my property's marketability?
No. Assessment appeals are confidential proceedings that don't affect your property's title or marketability in any way.
How long does the property tax appeal process take?
Local board appeals typically resolve within 3-6 months. Court appeals can take 12-18 months but may result in larger reductions.
