How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services cover every aspect of assessment challenges and tax reduction strategies. We conduct thorough property valuations using comparable sales data, income analysis, and cost approaches to identify overassessments. Our residential services include single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and multi-family properties up to four units. For commercial clients, we handle office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, warehouses, and investment properties. We prepare detailed appeal presentations with market analysis, property condition reports, and economic impact studies. Our team also provides ongoing assessment monitoring, helping clients track their property values year-over-year to identify future appeal opportunities. We maintain relationships with local appraisers and real estate professionals to ensure our valuations reflect current market conditions accurately.

What to Expect

The process begins with a comprehensive property analysis where we review your assessment notice and compare it to similar properties. We'll schedule an on-site inspection to document property conditions and identify any factors that might support a reduction. Next, we research comparable sales and market data to build your case. We prepare and file all necessary appeal documents with the county assessor's office within required deadlines. If needed, we'll represent you at hearings and present evidence on your behalf. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and explain each step. Most appeals are resolved within 3-6 months, depending on the complexity of your case.

Service Area

We serve all of El Paso County, including Colorado Springs, Fountain, Security-Widefield, and surrounding communities. Our team is familiar with assessment practices across different districts within the county and maintains working relationships with local assessors' offices. We also handle select cases in Teller and Douglas counties for existing clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
Compare your assessment to similar properties that sold recently in your area. If your assessed value is significantly higher than comparable sales, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal?
In Colorado, you generally have 30 days from the date you receive your assessment notice to file an appeal. Missing this deadline means waiting until the next assessment cycle.
Will appealing my property taxes trigger an audit or investigation?
No, filing a legitimate appeal is your legal right and won't trigger any negative consequences. Counties expect and handle thousands of appeals each cycle.
How much can I realistically save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely, but successful appeals typically reduce assessments by 5-20%, translating to annual tax savings of $500-3,000 for most properties.
Do I need to hire a professional for my appeal?
While you can file appeals yourself, professional representation significantly improves your chances of success. We have the expertise and relationships to present compelling cases.
What happens if my appeal is denied?
You can appeal the decision to the Board of Assessment Appeals and potentially to district court. We'll advise whether further appeals are worthwhile based on your case.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Colorado reassesses properties every two years, so you can only appeal when you receive a new assessment notice. However, you can appeal both the land and improvement values.
What documents do you need to handle my appeal?
We'll need your assessment notice, recent property tax bills, and access to inspect your property. We'll handle gathering comparable sales data and market information.
