Dunn Counsel

Dunn Counsel combines estate planning expertise with specialized tax law knowledge to provide property tax consulting services that consider long-term wealth preservation strategies. Their unique perspective helps clients understand how property tax decisions affect overall estate and tax planning goals. Located in Troy, the firm serves clients throughout Oakland County and beyond. Their estate planning background provides valuable insights into property ownership structures, trust properties, and inheritance tax implications that other consultants might overlook.

The firm provides sophisticated property tax consulting that integrates with comprehensive estate and tax planning strategies. They handle assessment appeals for residential properties, commercial real estate, and trust-owned properties with attention to long-term tax implications. For estate planning clients, they review property assessments as part of overall wealth management strategies. Their services include principal residence exemption optimization, homestead exemption coordination, and assessment monitoring for inherited properties. They understand how property tax appeals affect estate values and beneficiary interests. Commercial services focus on investment properties, rental real estate, and business-owned properties. They provide market analysis, comparable sales research, and valuation challenges that consider both current tax savings and future planning opportunities. Their approach examines how property tax reductions integrate with overall tax minimization strategies.

Consultations begin with understanding your overall estate and tax planning objectives, not just immediate property tax concerns. They'll review your property assessments within the context of your broader financial goals and family circumstances. Their process includes coordination with other professional advisors like CPAs and financial planners to ensure property tax strategies align with your comprehensive plan. They handle all appeal procedures while considering how reductions might affect other aspects of your tax situation.

Dunn Counsel serves clients throughout Oakland County from their Troy location, with particular expertise in Bloomfield Hills, Birmingham, Rochester, and surrounding affluent communities. They work with property owners across Michigan who need coordinated estate and property tax planning services.
