Their residential services include homestead exemption applications, assessment appeals, and valuation disputes for single-family homes, condominiums, and multi-family properties. They handle everything from filing initial protests to representing clients at formal hearings.

What to Expect

The process begins with a free consultation to review your property assessment and tax history. They'll analyze recent sales data, property condition, and assessment methodology to determine appeal potential. If they identify grounds for reduction, they'll explain the likely outcomes and fee structure. Once retained, the firm gathers supporting documentation including appraisals, repair estimates, and market data. They prepare and file all necessary paperwork with the appropriate taxing authorities. Throughout the appeal process, they handle negotiations with assessors and represent you at hearings. You'll receive regular updates on case progress and final documentation showing your tax savings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do property tax appeals take in Missouri?
Most appeals are resolved within 3-6 months for residential properties. Commercial appeals can take 6-12 months depending on complexity and whether formal hearings are required.
What percentage of appeals are successful?
Success rates vary by property type and market conditions. Residential appeals typically succeed 60-70% of the time when properly documented, while commercial appeals have slightly lower success rates but often achieve larger savings.
Can I appeal multiple years of assessments?
Yes, Missouri allows appeals for previous tax years under certain circumstances. You can often recover overpayments with interest for up to three prior years if you can demonstrate assessment errors.
Do I need an appraisal for my appeal?
Not always required for residential properties, but recommended for commercial appeals. The firm can help determine when professional appraisals strengthen your case versus when market analysis is sufficient.
What happens if my appeal is denied?
You have additional appeal options including state-level review boards. The firm can advise on the likelihood of success at higher appeal levels and represent you through the entire process.
Will appealing increase my assessment?
Missouri law generally prohibits increasing assessments during the appeal process. Your taxes can only be reduced or remain the same as a result of your appeal.
How much can I expect to save on property taxes?
Savings vary widely depending on the degree of over-assessment. Typical successful appeals result in 5-25% reduction in assessed value, translating to proportional tax savings.
When are property tax appeal deadlines?
Deadlines vary by county but typically fall between March and May. Missing deadlines can prevent appeals for that tax year, so it's important to act quickly after receiving assessment notices.
