How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services begin with detailed assessment reviews using multiple valuation approaches. For residential clients, we conduct thorough market analysis, examining comparable sales, property condition factors, and neighborhood trends that assessors may have overlooked. Our residential appeal process includes property inspections, documentation of any issues affecting value, and skilled representation at Board of Appeal and Equalization hearings. For commercial properties, we provide sophisticated income approach analysis, cost approach valuations, and sales comparison studies tailored to specific property types. We excel at challenging assessments for office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, and special-use properties. Our commercial services include ongoing assessment monitoring, lease analysis for income-producing properties, and coordination with property managers and accounting teams to ensure optimal tax positioning.

What to Expect

Our process starts with a comprehensive property analysis where we review your current assessment, examine recent comparable sales, and evaluate market conditions affecting your property type. We provide a detailed report outlining potential savings and the strength of your appeal case. If we proceed, we handle all aspects of the appeal including evidence preparation, professional documentation, and representation at hearings. We maintain regular communication throughout the 4-8 month process and coordinate with your other professional advisors as needed. Our systematic approach has resulted in successful outcomes for over 85% of our cases.

Service Area

We serve Minneapolis, St. Paul, Bloomington, Plymouth, and throughout Hennepin and Ramsey counties. Our extensive knowledge of local assessment practices and market conditions across different municipalities gives our clients a significant strategic advantage in their appeals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Minnesota property tax appeals work?
Property owners can appeal their assessments to local Boards of Appeal and Equalization, typically meeting in April. If unsatisfied, appeals can proceed to the Minnesota Tax Court with specific deadlines and procedures.
What evidence do I need for a successful property tax appeal?
Strong appeals require comparable sales data, property condition documentation, income and expense information for commercial properties, and professional appraisals when values are disputed significantly.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, Minnesota allows annual appeals if you have new evidence or if market conditions have changed. However, frivolous appeals without substantial evidence aren't recommended.
How much do property tax appeals typically cost?
Most residential appeals are handled on contingency with no upfront costs. Commercial cases may require appraisal fees ranging from $2,500-$10,000 depending on property complexity.
What's the difference between assessed value and market value?
Assessed value is the official valuation used for tax purposes, while market value represents what a property would sell for. These should be similar, but discrepancies create appeal opportunities.
Will appealing my assessment affect my homestead exemption?
No, appealing your assessment won't impact your homestead classification or exemption status. These are separate issues handled through different processes.
How long do I have to file a property tax appeal in Minneapolis?
Appeals must be filed with the local Board of Appeal and Equalization during their annual meeting period, typically in April. Missing this deadline means waiting until the following year.
Can you help with commercial properties outside Minneapolis?
Yes, we handle commercial properties throughout the Twin Cities metro area and have experience with assessment practices in multiple counties and municipalities.
