How They Can Help

Property tax appeal services cover residential homes, commercial buildings, and investment properties throughout the Treasure Valley. The firm conducts thorough assessment reviews, comparing county valuations against actual market conditions and recent comparable sales. Commercial property tax consulting includes complex valuation analysis for office buildings, retail centers, warehouses, and special-use properties. Residential tax protest services help homeowners navigate the appeal process from initial assessment review through formal hearings. The firm prepares comprehensive evidence packages including market studies, property condition assessments, and comparable sales analysis. Assessment review services identify overvaluations and procedural errors that can form the basis for successful appeals. Additional services include ongoing tax strategy consulting and representation at county board hearings.

What to Expect

Initial consultation reviews your property tax assessment, recent bills, and property details to evaluate appeal potential. The firm analyzes comparable sales data and market conditions to determine if your assessment exceeds fair market value. When appeals are warranted, all necessary paperwork is prepared and filed within statutory deadlines. Evidence packages include market analysis, property documentation, and supporting materials for hearing presentations. The firm represents clients at county board hearings, presenting evidence and questioning assessors when necessary. Most residential appeals are completed within 4-6 months, with commercial cases potentially taking longer due to complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your approach different from other property tax consultants?
Our background in real estate law provides deeper understanding of property valuation methods and market analysis. We often identify assessment issues that consultants without legal training might miss.
How successful are your property tax appeals?
Success rates vary by case type, but we achieve reductions in approximately 65-70% of appeals that proceed to formal hearings. Results depend heavily on the strength of evidence and degree of over-assessment.
Do you handle appeals for all types of properties?
Yes, we work with residential homes, commercial buildings, investment properties, and special-use facilities. Each property type requires different valuation approaches and evidence strategies.
What's your fee structure for property tax appeals?
We offer both contingency and hourly billing options depending on case complexity. Contingency fees typically range from 30-45% of first-year tax savings for successful appeals.
How do I know if my property assessment is too high?
Compare your assessment to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment significantly exceeds what comparable properties have sold for, you may have grounds for appeal.
What happens if we don't win the appeal?
With contingency fee arrangements, you pay nothing if the appeal is unsuccessful. Hourly cases may still incur costs, which we discuss upfront during consultation.
Can you help with both residential and commercial properties?
Yes, our real estate law background gives us experience with all property types. Commercial appeals often require more complex analysis but can result in larger savings.
How long have you been handling property tax appeals in Boise?
We've been practicing in Boise for over 20 years with property tax appeals becoming a significant part of our practice in the last decade. This experience helps us understand local assessment patterns and hearing officer preferences.
