How They Can Help

The firm handles property tax appeals for residential and commercial properties in Washington County and across Northwest Arkansas. That includes reviewing assessment notices, pulling comparable sales or income data to evaluate whether the county's valuation holds up, and filing formal protests with the county equalization board. Beyond property tax, the practice covers tax law broadly, including IRS disputes, penalty abatement requests, offers in compromise, and tax debt resolution. For clients whose property tax problem is part of a larger tax situation, having one firm that handles both areas is genuinely convenient. The firm emphasizes accessibility. Consultations are available promptly, and the team is set up to handle time-sensitive matters without the intake delays that can cost clients appeal deadlines. For property owners who've just received an assessment notice and aren't sure what to do, the firm can get them answers quickly and help them decide whether a formal challenge makes sense.

What to Expect

The process starts with a consultation to understand the client's situation and the specific notice or dispute they're facing. From there, the firm pulls the relevant assessor records and evaluates whether the county's valuation methodology is defensible given current market conditions. If there's a viable challenge, they file the formal protest and prepare for the county board hearing. They walk clients through what to expect at each stage and are direct about the likely outcomes. The firm prioritizes communication, so clients aren't left wondering about deadlines or where their case stands. For clients with more complex situations, such as property tax problems tied to broader tax debt or IRS issues, the firm can develop a strategy that addresses the whole picture rather than just one piece at a time. They move at the pace the situation requires.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the deadline to appeal a property tax assessment in Arkansas?
The deadline to file a protest with the county equalization board is May 31 of the tax year. Missing that date generally means you're locked in at the current assessed value for another full year.
How quickly can the firm take on a new property tax matter?
The firm is structured to respond quickly, particularly for time-sensitive situations near the appeal deadline. Initial consultations are available promptly, and they can file a protest quickly once they've reviewed your situation.
Can you help if I have both a property tax problem and an IRS issue?
Yes. The firm handles both areas, so you don't need separate representation. In some cases, the IRS issue directly affects the property situation, and having one firm managing both produces a more coherent strategy.
What's the difference between an appraisal and an assessment in Arkansas?
The appraised value is the county's estimate of market value. The assessed value is 20% of that, and it's what the tax rate is applied to. Both numbers matter, but the appraisal is the one you challenge when you appeal.
Do I have to attend the county board hearing myself?
No. An attorney can appear on your behalf, and in most cases it's preferable to have legal representation handle the hearing. That's especially true if the appeal involves disputed valuation methodology rather than a simple factual error.
What happens if the county board denies my appeal?
You can escalate to the Arkansas Assessment Coordination Division and, ultimately, to circuit court. The firm can advise whether further escalation is worth pursuing given the potential savings and the strength of your case.
Is the initial consultation really free?
Yes. The initial conversation is about understanding your situation and giving you an honest assessment of whether your case has merit. There's no charge for that, and no obligation to hire the firm afterward.
Can a tax lien affect my ability to appeal a property assessment?
A lien doesn't prevent you from appealing, but it can complicate the picture if you're trying to sell or refinance during the process. The firm can help you manage both issues in parallel so neither one creates unnecessary delays for the other.
