How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services include residential and commercial assessment appeals, tax protest filing, and valuation analysis. We handle everything from single-family homes to large commercial complexes, retail properties, and industrial facilities. Our residential services cover homestead exemptions, senior exemptions, and disability exemptions in addition to standard assessment appeals. For commercial clients, we provide detailed market analysis, income approach valuations, and cost approach assessments to challenge overvaluations. We also assist with personal property tax issues, including equipment and inventory assessments. Our team works closely with certified appraisers and market analysts to ensure your property is valued accurately and fairly. We handle all paperwork, deadlines, and communication with tax assessors, making the process seamless for you.

What to Expect

Your property tax appeal begins with a free consultation where we review your current assessment and tax bill. We'll analyze comparable properties, recent sales data, and market conditions to determine if you're paying too much. If we identify potential savings, we'll explain the appeal process and timeline. Once you decide to proceed, we handle all paperwork and filing requirements. We gather supporting documentation, prepare your case, and represent you before the tax assessor or appeals board. Most cases are resolved within 3-6 months, and we keep you informed throughout the process.

Service Area

We serve all of Albuquerque and surrounding Bernalillo County communities, including Rio Rancho, Corrales, and the East Mountains. Our office is centrally located in Albuquerque, making it convenient for clients throughout the metro area. We also handle select cases in Santa Fe and Valencia Counties for existing clients with multiple properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a property tax appeal?
In New Mexico, you typically have 30 days from the date you receive your assessment notice to file an appeal. Missing this deadline can prevent you from challenging your assessment for that tax year.
What if my property value has increased but my assessment seems fair?
Even if property values are rising, your specific assessment might still be too high compared to similar properties. We analyze comparable sales and market data to determine if you're paying your fair share.
Do you guarantee tax reductions?
While we can't guarantee specific outcomes, our 85% success rate demonstrates our effectiveness. We only take cases where we believe there's a strong chance of achieving savings.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely depending on the property and degree of overassessment. Our clients typically see reductions ranging from 10% to 40% of their annual tax bill.
Will appealing my taxes trigger an audit or additional scrutiny?
No, filing a property tax appeal is a normal legal process and won't trigger additional scrutiny. It's your right as a property owner to challenge assessments you believe are incorrect.
Can you help with commercial properties outside Bernalillo County?
We primarily focus on Bernalillo County but will consider commercial properties in adjacent counties for existing clients. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
What documents do I need to provide for an appeal?
We'll need your current tax assessment, recent comparable sales if available, and any information about property conditions or issues. We'll help you gather any additional documentation needed.
How often should I have my property assessment reviewed?
We recommend annual reviews, especially in changing markets. Our monitoring service automatically tracks your assessment and initiates appeals when beneficial.
