Harris Tax and Financial Solutions

Harris Tax and Financial Solutions has been helping Los Angeles property owners fight back against inflated tax assessments for years. The firm takes a data-driven approach to every case, pulling comparable sales, income data, and market trends to build the strongest possible argument for a reduction. They work with residential homeowners, landlords, and commercial property investors across LA County. The team knows the Los Angeles County Assessor's office processes inside and out, which means fewer surprises and faster resolutions for clients. Whether you've recently purchased a property and your assessment jumped, or you've been overpaying for years without realizing it, Harris Tax brings the financial and legal know-how to get your tax burden down to where it should be.

Harris Tax and Financial Solutions covers the full spectrum of property tax relief services in California. Their core work is property assessment appeals, handling both Proposition 8 temporary reductions for declining markets and permanent base year value corrections. They review purchase-triggered reassessments to make sure the county applied the right value, which is a common error that costs buyers thousands annually. Beyond residential work, they handle income-producing properties including apartment buildings, retail centers, and mixed-use developments. The firm also advises on Proposition 19 parent-child transfers and base year value transfers for seniors and disaster victims, making sure clients don't lose valuable protections through missed deadlines or paperwork mistakes. Additionally, Harris Tax provides general tax planning for real estate investors, helping clients structure acquisitions to minimize future reassessment exposure. They'll review your current assessment proactively, even if you haven't received an increase notice, because catching an overvaluation early saves more money over time. All engagements start with a free assessment review so you know whether an appeal is worth pursuing before committing to anything.

The process starts with a no-cost assessment review. You share your current property tax bill and whatever information you have about the property, and the Harris Tax team pulls comparable sales and market data to estimate what your assessed value should be. If there's a viable case, they prepare and file the Assessment Appeal Application with the LA County Assessment Appeals Board before the applicable deadline. They handle all communication with the Assessor's office during the informal review phase, which resolves most cases without a formal hearing. For cases that proceed to a hearing, the team prepares a formal evidence package including a written appraisal or comparable sales analysis. They represent you at the board hearing and handle any follow-up. Once a reduction is granted, they verify the corrected tax bill and make sure refunds for prior overpayments are issued correctly. You get updates throughout so you're never left wondering where things stand.

Harris Tax and Financial Solutions primarily serves Los Angeles County, including the City of Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Culver City, Burbank, Pasadena, and the San Fernando Valley. They also take select cases in Ventura County and Orange County for existing clients. Given California's complex assessment rules, all clients must be located in the state regardless of where the firm is physically retained.
