Boland Law Group

Boland Law Group is a Scottsdale-based firm that handles property tax appeals alongside a broader practice covering business law and estate planning. They work with residential and commercial property owners who believe their assessed values are too high, guiding clients through the Maricopa County assessor process and, when needed, taking appeals to the Arizona Board of Equalization. The firm's cross-disciplinary background gives them a practical edge in cases where property disputes overlap with business interests or estate transfers. If you own investment properties, commercial real estate, or are dealing with inherited property valuations, having attorneys who understand both tax law and estate mechanics can simplify an otherwise messy process. They're a smaller shop, which means you're more likely to deal directly with an attorney rather than a paralegal.

Boland Law Group's property tax work focuses on identifying overassessments and building the documentation needed to support a reduction. That starts with a detailed review of your property's assessed value compared to recent comparable sales and current market conditions in Maricopa County. For residential clients, they handle single-family homes, condos, and rental properties. On the commercial side, they work with office buildings, retail space, industrial properties, and multi-unit complexes. The appeal process in Arizona has strict deadlines, and the firm tracks those windows so clients don't miss their filing dates. Beyond appeals, they assist with valuation disputes that come up during property sales, business acquisitions, and estate settlements. If a property is being transferred and the assessed value looks wrong, they can address it before the deal closes or before tax liability is locked in. They also handle business personal property tax matters, which is a separate assessment process that many property owners overlook entirely.

The process starts with a free initial consultation to review your property's notice of value and discuss whether there's a viable basis for appeal. If it looks promising, the team pulls comparable sales data, reviews the assessor's methodology, and identifies the strongest arguments for reduction. From there, they prepare and file the appeal with the Maricopa County Assessor's Office. Many cases are resolved at this administrative level without going further. If the assessor doesn't adjust the value to a fair figure, the appeal can move to the State Board of Equalization or, in some cases, Arizona Tax Court. Throughout the process, they keep clients updated on deadlines and decisions. They'll also explain what a realistic reduction looks like so you're not waiting months for an outcome that won't move the needle on your tax bill.

Boland Law Group primarily serves property owners in Maricopa County, with a focus on Scottsdale, Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, and Chandler. They handle commercial and residential appeals throughout Arizona but have the deepest familiarity with Maricopa County's assessment system, comparable sales data, and appeal procedures. Clients outside the immediate Phoenix metro area should ask about their experience with specific county assessor offices.
