Dennis Shaw Drennan & Pack

Dennis Shaw Drennan & Pack brings over two decades of specialized experience in property tax consulting and appeals throughout Spartanburg County. Our firm combines legal expertise with deep knowledge of South Carolina assessment procedures to help property owners reduce their tax burden effectively. We work with both residential homeowners and commercial property owners, handling everything from routine assessment reviews to complex valuation disputes. Our team understands the local assessment practices and maintains strong working relationships with county officials, which helps us achieve favorable outcomes for our clients while keeping the process professional and efficient.

Our comprehensive property tax services include formal property tax appeals, assessment review and analysis, and valuation dispute resolution. We handle residential property protests for homeowners facing unexpected assessment increases, as well as complex commercial property tax cases involving office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial properties. We provide detailed market analysis and comparable property research to support your case. Our team prepares all necessary documentation, represents you at hearings, and negotiates with assessors on your behalf. We also offer ongoing assessment monitoring services to catch potential issues early, plus consultation on property improvements that might affect your tax liability. For commercial clients, we provide multi-year tax planning strategies and portfolio assessment reviews to maximize savings across multiple properties.

Your property tax appeal starts with a free initial consultation where we review your assessment notice and property details. We'll explain your options and potential savings, then conduct a thorough property analysis if you decide to proceed. Once engaged, we research comparable properties, analyze market data, and prepare your appeal documentation. We handle all filings and communications with the assessor's office, keeping you informed throughout the process. Most cases resolve through negotiation, but we're prepared to represent you at formal hearings if needed. The entire process typically takes 3-6 months, depending on case complexity.

We serve all of Spartanburg County and surrounding areas including Greer, Duncan, Lyman, and Cowpens. Our local presence means we understand neighborhood-specific valuation issues and maintain relationships with county assessment offices. We handle cases throughout the South Carolina Upstate region, with particular expertise in properties within Spartanburg city limits and the rapidly growing suburbs along I-85 and I-26 corridors.
