How They Can Help

We provide full-service property tax consulting for all property types in northern Nevada. Our residential services include assessment reviews, informal appeals, and formal board hearings. We analyze your property's assessed value against recent sales, condition factors, and neighborhood trends to identify overassessments. For commercial properties, we offer sophisticated valuation services including income approach analysis, expense verification, and market studies. We handle everything from small office buildings to large industrial complexes and multi-family developments. Our commercial team includes MAI appraisers who provide expert testimony when needed. We also provide ongoing tax planning services, helping property owners understand assessment cycles and prepare for future appeals. Our consultation services include review of proposed developments, tax impact studies, and strategic planning for property acquisitions or improvements.

What to Expect

We start every case with a free initial consultation where we review your assessment notice and property details. Our team conducts a preliminary analysis to determine if you have grounds for appeal and what level of reduction might be achievable. We explain the entire process upfront, including timelines and fee structure. If we accept your case, we immediately begin gathering evidence including property inspections, market research, and comparable sales analysis. We prepare all required documentation and file appeals within statutory deadlines. Throughout the process, we maintain regular communication and provide updates on case progress. Most residential cases resolve within 4-5 months.

Service Area

We serve the greater Reno metropolitan area including Sparks, Carson City, and Lake Tahoe communities. Our coverage extends throughout Washoe County and Carson County, with experience in rural Nevada counties as well. We're particularly familiar with unique properties in mountain and desert environments that present special valuation challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. Look for significant differences in assessed values between comparable properties, which may indicate overassessment.
What's the difference between assessed value and market value?
Assessed value is what the county uses for tax purposes and should equal 35% of fair market value in Nevada. Market value is what your property would sell for in current conditions.
Can my taxes go up if I appeal?
No, Nevada law prohibits increasing assessments solely because of an appeal. Your taxes can only be reduced or remain the same through the appeal process.
Do you handle appeals for vacant land?
Yes, we regularly handle vacant land appeals. These often involve issues with highest and best use analysis or comparable sales from different market areas.
What happens if the county board denies my appeal?
You can appeal the decision to the Nevada State Board of Equalization within 30 days. We handle state board appeals and have experience with this higher level process.
How often should I consider appealing my property taxes?
You should review your assessment annually. Appeal if you notice significant increases without corresponding market improvements or if comparable properties are assessed lower.
Can you help with business personal property tax appeals?
Yes, we handle business personal property appeals involving equipment, fixtures, and furniture valuations. These require specialized knowledge of depreciation schedules and industry standards.
What if I've already tried appealing on my own?
We can still help if your initial appeal was unsuccessful. We'll review what happened and determine if additional evidence or a different approach might succeed.
