How They Can Help

We provide comprehensive property tax appeal services including assessment reviews, market value analysis, and formal protest filing. Our residential services cover single-family homes, condominiums, and investment properties, while our commercial division handles office buildings, retail spaces, industrial facilities, and multi-family complexes. Our valuation analysis service examines recent comparable sales, property condition factors, and market trends to determine if your assessment is fair. We prepare detailed protest documentation, handle all communications with assessor offices, and represent clients at hearing proceedings. Additionally, we offer ongoing monitoring services to catch assessment increases early and provide annual property tax planning consultations to help you understand your options each year.

What to Expect

Your property tax appeal begins with a free consultation where we review your current assessment and recent tax bills. We'll analyze your property's characteristics, recent sales in your area, and current market conditions to determine if an appeal has merit. If we identify savings potential, we'll conduct a comprehensive property evaluation and prepare your formal protest documentation. We handle all filing requirements and deadlines, communicate directly with assessor offices, and represent you throughout the process. You'll receive regular updates on your case progress and detailed explanations of any settlement offers or hearing outcomes.

Service Area

We serve the greater Baton Rouge metropolitan area including East Baton Rouge Parish, West Baton Rouge Parish, Livingston Parish, and Ascension Parish. Our local knowledge extends to assessment practices in each parish, helping us tailor our approach to specific local procedures and reviewer preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher than market evidence suggests, you may have grounds for appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Louisiana?
You typically have 30 days from receiving your assessment notice to file an appeal. Missing this deadline means waiting until the next assessment cycle.
Do you charge upfront fees for residential appeals?
Most residential appeals are handled on contingency, meaning you pay only if we achieve a reduction. We'll discuss all fee arrangements during your initial consultation.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary by property, but successful appeals often result in 10-30% reductions in assessed value. Your actual savings depend on your tax rate and the reduction amount achieved.
What documents do I need for a property tax appeal?
Bring your recent tax bills, purchase documents, and records of any improvements or repairs. We'll help identify any additional documentation needed for your specific case.
Can I appeal my assessment every year?
Yes, you can appeal annually if you have valid grounds. However, assessments that haven't changed significantly may not warrant appeal unless market conditions have shifted.
What happens if I lose my appeal?
If your appeal isn't successful, your assessment remains unchanged and you're responsible for agreed-upon fees. In contingency cases, you owe nothing if we don't achieve a reduction.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals resolve within 3-6 months, though complex commercial cases may take longer. We'll keep you updated throughout the process and explain any delays as they occur.
