How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services blend accounting precision with legal advocacy. We perform detailed financial analysis of income-producing properties, including cash flow studies, expense analysis, and market-rate comparisons. Our legal team handles all aspects of the formal appeal process while our CPAs ensure valuations are properly supported by financial data. We specialize in commercial properties where income approach valuations are critical, including apartment buildings, retail centers, and office complexes. Our services include assessment monitoring, base year value reviews, and supplemental assessment appeals. We also provide tax planning advice to minimize future assessment issues and optimize property tax strategies within overall financial planning. For estate planning clients, we coordinate property tax considerations with broader estate strategies.

We start with comprehensive financial and legal analysis of your property and current assessment. Our CPAs review income statements, rent rolls, and operating expenses while our attorneys examine assessment methodology and legal precedents.
