How They Can Help

Core services include residential property tax appeals for single-family homes, condominiums, and townhomes throughout the Reno-Tahoe area. The firm handles everything from simple assessment error corrections to complex valuation disputes requiring expert testimony and detailed market analysis. They're particularly skilled at challenging assessments on older homes where functional obsolescence isn't properly recognized. Commercial property tax services cover office buildings, retail properties, industrial facilities, and investment properties. The team provides income approach analysis, market studies, and highest-and-best-use arguments when appropriate. They also handle personal property tax appeals for business equipment and fixtures. Additional services include homestead exemption applications, senior and disability discount programs, and ongoing assessment monitoring. The firm offers educational seminars for real estate professionals and property owners about Nevada's assessment practices and appeal rights.

What to Expect

Initial consultations involve a thorough review of your property assessment and recent market activity. The team explains Nevada's appeal process and evaluates your case's strengths and weaknesses. They provide honest assessments about likely outcomes and potential costs before you decide to proceed. If you choose to move forward, they begin with informal discussions with assessor staff to identify potential resolution without formal proceedings. When informal efforts don't succeed, they prepare comprehensive appeals with supporting documentation and expert analysis. The firm handles all procedural requirements and represents clients at Board of Equalization hearings. Throughout the process, clients receive regular communication about case progress and strategy decisions. The team's efficient processes keep costs manageable while ensuring thorough preparation for each case.

Service Area

The practice serves Washoe County, Carson City, Douglas County, and surrounding northern Nevada communities. Their familiarity with local assessors, hearing officers, and market conditions provides significant advantages during appeals. The team regularly appears before assessment boards throughout the region and understands local preferences and procedures. While most work focuses on the Reno-Tahoe metropolitan area, they accept cases throughout northern Nevada when circumstances warrant. Their knowledge of rural assessment practices helps clients in smaller communities where assessment expertise may be limited.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your firm different from other property tax consultants?
Our attorneys have direct experience working in tax assessor offices, giving us insider knowledge of assessment practices and common errors. This background helps us identify appeal opportunities that others might miss.
How do you determine if my property assessment is worth appealing?
We analyze your assessment against recent comparable sales, market trends, and property-specific factors. Our evaluation considers appeal costs versus potential savings to determine if an appeal makes financial sense.
What's your success rate with property tax appeals?
We achieve favorable results in approximately 75% of cases we accept. Our careful case screening helps ensure we only pursue appeals with reasonable success prospects.
Can you help with property tax exemptions and discounts?
Yes, we assist with homestead exemptions, senior discounts, disability exemptions, and other programs that can reduce property taxes. These applications often provide ongoing savings with minimal effort.
How quickly should I contact you after receiving my assessment notice?
Contact us immediately if you believe your assessment is excessive. Nevada's appeal deadlines are strict, and early contact allows more time for case preparation and strategy development.
Do you handle appeals outside of Washoe County?
Yes, we handle appeals throughout northern Nevada including Carson City, Douglas County, and rural areas. Our knowledge of different jurisdictions helps optimize strategies for each location.
What information should I bring to our initial consultation?
Bring your assessment notice, recent tax bills, property purchase documents, and any appraisals or inspections you have. We'll evaluate your case and explain available options during the consultation.
Is it worth appealing if I recently bought my property for more than the assessed value?
Not necessarily. If you paid market value or more, an appeal is unlikely to succeed unless there were unusual circumstances or assessment errors. We provide honest evaluations of appeal prospects.
