How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services include assessment appeals, valuation disputes, and tax reduction consulting. We review property assessments for accuracy, comparing your property's assessed value against similar properties and current market conditions. For commercial properties, we analyze income and expense data, lease comparables, and market trends to build strong appeals. We also provide ongoing assessment monitoring services, alerting you when reassessments occur and evaluating whether appeals are warranted. Our team handles all paperwork, deadlines, and hearing procedures. We represent clients before local boards of review, state tax commissions, and in court when necessary. Additionally, we offer property tax planning strategies for new developments and major property improvements.

What to Expect

Your case begins with a comprehensive property assessment review where we analyze your current tax bill, property records, and comparable sales data. We'll schedule an initial consultation to discuss your property's specific circumstances and potential for tax reduction. If we identify grounds for appeal, we'll prepare and file all necessary documentation with the appropriate tax authority. Throughout the process, we handle all communications with assessors and represent you at hearings. Most appeals resolve within 3-6 months, and we keep you informed at each step.

Service Area

We serve property owners throughout south-central Wisconsin, including Dane, Jefferson, Rock, Columbia, and Sauk counties. Our Madison office location allows us to effectively represent clients before all area boards of review and maintain strong relationships with local assessment officials.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property taxes are too high?
Compare your assessment to similar properties that have sold recently in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher than recent sale prices of comparable properties, you may have grounds for appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Wisconsin?
Appeals must typically be filed within 30 days of receiving your assessment notice. Some counties have different deadlines, so it's important to check your specific notice and act quickly.
Do I need to hire an attorney for a property tax appeal?
While you can represent yourself, property tax appeals involve complex valuation issues and legal procedures. An experienced attorney significantly increases your chances of success.
How much can I expect to save if my appeal is successful?
Savings vary widely based on your property's overassessment. Typical successful appeals result in 10-30% assessment reductions, translating to hundreds or thousands in annual tax savings.
Will appealing my taxes trigger a higher assessment next year?
No, filing an appeal cannot result in a higher assessment. Wisconsin law protects property owners from retaliatory increases when appealing in good faith.
What evidence do I need for a successful appeal?
Strong appeals typically include recent comparable sales, property condition documentation, and income/expense records for commercial properties. We help gather and analyze this evidence.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals resolve within 3-6 months through negotiations or board of review hearings. Complex commercial cases or those requiring court action may take longer.
What happens if we don't win the appeal?
If we're unsuccessful, you owe no attorney fees under our contingency arrangement. We can also discuss options for appealing to higher authorities if appropriate.
