How They Can Help

Our core services include comprehensive assessment reviews, formal appeals preparation, and hearing representation for both residential and commercial properties. We specialize in complex valuation challenges involving income properties, unique residential properties, and commercial real estate requiring sophisticated analysis. Our team handles everything from simple over-assessment appeals to multi-million dollar commercial disputes. Additional services include property tax planning for new developments, acquisition consulting to understand tax implications before purchase, and ongoing monitoring services for large property portfolios. We provide expert witness testimony in complex cases and consultation on property improvement impacts. Our commercial division handles specialized property types including hotels, retail centers, industrial complexes, and multi-family properties. We also offer educational seminars for real estate professionals and property management companies on assessment trends and appeal strategies.

What to Expect

Our process starts with a comprehensive property analysis including review of assessment records, market data analysis, and property inspection. We identify all potential grounds for appeal and develop a strategic approach tailored to your property's specific circumstances. Our experienced team prepares all documentation, evidence packages, and legal arguments necessary to support your case. We handle all aspects of the appeal process, from initial filing through final resolution. This includes negotiating with assessors, preparing for hearings, and presenting evidence on your behalf. We maintain regular communication throughout the process and provide detailed reports on case progress. For complex cases, we coordinate with appraisers, engineers, and other experts to build the strongest possible case. Most appeals conclude within 90-120 days, though complex commercial cases may require additional time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your legal approach different from other tax consultants?
Our legal training allows us to challenge assessment methodologies at a deeper level and provide courtroom advocacy if appeals proceed to formal hearings. We understand both property law and valuation principles, giving us advantages in complex cases.
Can you handle appeals in multiple counties?
Yes, we work throughout the Wasatch Front region including Salt Lake, Davis, Weber, and Utah Counties. Our knowledge of different county procedures and assessment practices benefits clients across the area.
How do you determine if a commercial property is over-assessed?
We analyze income statements, lease terms, market conditions, and property-specific factors that affect value. Our approach includes income capitalization analysis, comparable sales research, and cost approach verification when appropriate.
What documentation do you need for a residential appeal?
We need your assessment notice, recent utility bills, maintenance records showing property condition, and any factors affecting value like environmental issues or neighborhood changes. We'll gather additional market data independently.
Do you offer payment plans for expensive commercial appeals?
Yes, we can structure payment arrangements for large cases, including partial upfront payments with remaining fees contingent on success. Each arrangement is customized based on case complexity and client needs.
How often should commercial properties be reviewed for appeal opportunities?
We recommend annual reviews for all commercial properties, as market conditions, occupancy rates, and operating expenses constantly change. Regular monitoring identifies opportunities before they're missed due to filing deadlines.
What happens if an appeal is denied at the county level?
Utah allows appeals to the State Tax Commission and ultimately to district court. Our legal background positions us to handle these advanced proceedings, though most cases resolve at the county level.
Can you help with properties in tax increment financing districts?
Yes, TIF districts create unique assessment challenges that we're experienced in handling. These cases often require specialized analysis of base year values and increment calculations that affect your tax burden.
