Faries & Associates

Faries & Associates provides comprehensive property tax consulting services from our Flowood office, serving property owners throughout Mississippi's growing metro region. Our multidisciplinary practice combines legal expertise with practical knowledge of local assessment procedures to deliver effective tax reduction strategies for residential and commercial clients. With deep roots in Mississippi's legal and business community, we understand how rapid development and changing market conditions affect property assessments. Our team has successfully challenged overassessments across diverse property types, from suburban homes to industrial complexes, helping clients navigate complex valuation disputes and assessment appeals with confidence and professional support.

We offer complete property tax appeal services including assessment challenges, valuation disputes, and formal hearing representation. Our residential services cover single-family homes, condominiums, and residential lots where assessment ratios may not reflect current market conditions or property characteristics that affect value. Commercial property services include retail, office, industrial, and multi-family properties where income approach methodologies often overstate actual market values. We provide ongoing assessment monitoring for property portfolios and develop multi-year strategies that maximize tax savings through systematic appeals and exemption applications. Our valuation analysis service includes market studies, comparable sales analysis, and expert witness coordination for complex cases requiring professional testimony. We also handle homestead exemptions, agricultural valuations, and property reclassification requests that can significantly reduce annual tax obligations.

We begin each engagement with a comprehensive property and assessment review, analyzing your current taxes against comparable properties and market conditions. Our initial evaluation includes assessment ratio analysis and identification of potential grounds for appeal or exemption applications. Once we determine appeal viability, we develop a customized strategy that may include professional appraisals, market studies, or property condition assessments. We handle all filing requirements, deadline management, and procedural compliance while keeping clients informed throughout the process. Our representation includes informal negotiations with assessment staff and formal hearings before local boards. We present compelling evidence packages that address specific valuation methodologies and market factors affecting your property's fair market value.

Based in Flowood, we serve clients throughout the Jackson metropolitan area including Rankin, Madison, and Hinds counties. Our practice extends to surrounding counties where assessment practices and appeal procedures require specialized knowledge of local regulations and administrative processes. We maintain active relationships with assessors' offices throughout central Mississippi.
