Services
How They Can Help
E. Kenneth Wall, PC handles all phases of the Connecticut property tax appeal process. The firm starts with an assessment analysis comparing your current assessed value to market evidence, whether that's recent comparable sales for a home or income data for a commercial property. Where the numbers support an appeal, the firm files with the appropriate board of assessment appeals and handles the hearing. For cases that don't resolve at the board level, the firm takes matters to Connecticut Superior Court under the statutory appeal process. Kenneth Wall works with independent appraisers who can provide certified valuation opinions when formal appraisal testimony is needed. Beyond formal appeals, the firm advises on Connecticut-specific exemptions including those for veterans, elderly owners, and qualifying nonprofit organizations, and can assist with applications where a client is eligible for a benefit they haven't yet claimed. The firm also does advance planning work, advising clients ahead of revaluation years on what to expect and when to act.
What to Expect
E. Kenneth Wall, PC starts every engagement with an honest look at whether a property tax appeal makes financial sense. That means reviewing your assessment, pulling relevant comparable sales or income data, and giving you a candid opinion before any fees are discussed. If the case looks viable, the firm handles filing, hearing prep, and representation before the board. Connecticut's February deadline requires moving quickly after October 1st assessment dates. The firm tracks revaluation years across municipalities and proactively reaches out to clients who may need to act. If a board hearing produces an unsatisfactory result, Kenneth Wall explains the court appeal option clearly, including what it involves, what it costs, and what a realistic range of outcomes looks like. The goal is always to match the strategy to the value of the case, so clients aren't spending more on legal fees than they stand to recover in tax savings.
