Callahan Law Firm

Callahan Property Tax Consultants has been helping Kansas City property owners reduce their tax burden for over 15 years. We understand that property taxes can be one of your largest annual expenses, whether you own a home or commercial building. Our team knows the local assessment process inside and out. We've successfully challenged thousands of property assessments across Jackson County and surrounding areas. Our approach combines detailed market analysis with aggressive advocacy to ensure you're not paying more than your fair share. We work on a contingency basis, so you only pay when we save you money.

We provide comprehensive property tax reduction services for both residential and commercial properties. Our residential tax protest services include assessment reviews, comparable property analysis, and formal appeals to county boards. For homeowners, we examine your property's assessed value against recent sales data and current market conditions. Our commercial property tax services cover office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, and multi-family complexes. We conduct thorough income and expense analysis, review capitalization rates, and challenge inflated assessments. We also handle property tax consulting for new construction projects and major renovations. Additionally, we offer ongoing assessment monitoring services to catch increases before they become problematic. Our valuation analysis includes physical property inspections, market research, and detailed reports you can use for loan applications or insurance purposes.

Getting started is simple. First, we'll review your current property tax bill and assessment notice at no charge. If we identify potential savings, we'll explain our findings and fee structure. Once you decide to proceed, we gather property details, photos, and relevant market data. We then prepare and file your formal appeal with the appropriate county board. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of deadlines and hearing dates. If your case goes to hearing, we'll represent you before the assessment board. Most cases resolve within 3-6 months of filing.

We serve Jackson County, Clay County, Platte County, and Cass County in Missouri. This includes Kansas City, Independence, Lee's Summit, Blue Springs, Liberty, and surrounding communities. We're familiar with each county's specific procedures and assessment practices, which helps us develop targeted strategies for your appeal.
