How They Can Help

We offer comprehensive property tax reduction services including assessment appeals, valuation disputes, and exemption applications. Our residential services cover homestead exemptions, senior freezes, and assessment corrections for single-family homes, condos, and rental properties. For commercial clients, we handle office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, and multi-family developments. Our valuation analysis service compares your property's assessed value against similar properties and current market conditions. We prepare detailed reports with comparable sales data, property condition assessments, and economic factors that may justify a reduction. We also handle administrative appeals with parish assessors and formal hearings before local review boards. Our exemption services include veterans' exemptions, disability exemptions, and various homestead protections available under Louisiana law.

What to Expect

Start by calling us with your property tax concerns and recent assessment notice. We'll review your property details and explain whether an appeal has merit based on comparable sales and assessment practices in your area. If we take your case, we'll conduct a property inspection and gather market data to build your appeal. We handle all paperwork and deadlines with the parish assessor's office. Most cases resolve at the administrative level, but we're prepared to represent you at formal hearings if needed. You'll receive regular updates throughout the process, and we only collect our fee if we achieve a reduction.

Service Area

We serve East Baton Rouge Parish and surrounding areas including West Baton Rouge, Ascension, and Livingston parishes. Our focus on the greater Baton Rouge metropolitan area allows us to maintain detailed knowledge of local assessment practices and market conditions. We handle cases throughout Louisiana for commercial properties and complex residential appeals, traveling as needed for significant tax disputes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a property tax appeal in Louisiana?
You must file within 60 days of receiving your assessment notice. Missing this deadline means waiting until the next assessment cycle, which could be up to four years.
What are my chances of winning a property tax appeal?
Success rates vary, but we typically achieve reductions in 60-70% of cases we accept. We screen cases carefully and only take appeals with strong merit based on market evidence.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely depending on your property and the degree of over-assessment. Typical reductions range from 10-30% of the assessed value, translating to hundreds or thousands in annual tax savings.
Do I need a lawyer for a property tax appeal?
While not required, having legal representation significantly improves your chances of success. The process involves complex valuation methods and legal procedures that benefit from professional expertise.
What happens if I lose my appeal?
If your appeal is unsuccessful, you can still apply for available exemptions and wait for the next assessment cycle. With contingency fees, you won't owe attorney fees for unsuccessful appeals.
Can you help with commercial property tax appeals?
Yes, we handle commercial appeals including office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial properties. Commercial cases often involve more complex valuation methods but can yield substantial savings.
What information do you need to evaluate my case?
We need your current assessment notice, property details, and any relevant information about condition or circumstances affecting value. We can usually provide an initial assessment over the phone.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most residential appeals resolve within 3-6 months. Commercial cases and formal hearings can take longer, sometimes up to a year for complex properties.
