About Instant Tax Solutions

The firm works with homeowners and small business owners in the Little Rock area who want a faster path through the assessment appeal process without getting bogged down in legal complexity they don't need. The team is familiar with how Pulaski County and surrounding counties handle assessment cycles, and they've built processes that move clients through the appeal steps without unnecessary delays. They're not a large firm, but that works in clients' favor. You deal with the same people throughout your case, and you don't get passed around between departments. If you have a straightforward residential appeal or a small commercial property dispute, they're worth a call.

How They Can Help

Instant Tax Solutions handles property tax appeals for both residential and commercial clients, though the bulk of their work is on the residential side. They review assessment notices, pull comparable sales data, and file appeals with the county equalization board. If there are errors in the county's property record, such as incorrect square footage or an inaccurate description of condition, they identify and document those as part of the appeal. For small commercial properties, they offer a similar review and appeal service, though they refer larger or more complex commercial cases to firms with dedicated appraisal resources. They also help clients understand and apply for Arkansas homestead exemptions and other relief programs that can reduce the effective tax burden even when the assessed value itself isn't in dispute. Their fees are structured to be accessible for homeowners who might otherwise decide an appeal isn't worth the effort, and they're clear about costs before any engagement begins.

What to Expect

The process is designed to be simple on the client's end. You share your assessment notice and any basic information about your property, and the team does an initial review at no charge. If they think there's a reasonable case for a reduction, they explain what the appeal involves and what it would cost. Once you're engaged, they gather the comparable sales data, check the county property record for errors, and put together the appeal documentation. They file with the equalization board and handle scheduling. Most clients don't need to attend the hearing themselves, though you're welcome to. After the hearing, they communicate the result and, if the reduction isn't adequate, discuss whether escalation makes sense. The whole process is meant to require minimal time from the client.

Service Area

The firm primarily works with clients in Little Rock, North Little Rock, Sherwood, and Maumelle within Pulaski County. They also handle appeals in Saline County, including Benton and Bryant. For clients outside these areas, they can often provide a remote consultation and refer to a local contact if in-person representation is needed. Most of their work doesn't require the client to be physically present, so geography is less of a barrier than it might seem.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a contingency fee work for a property tax appeal?
You pay nothing upfront. If the appeal results in a reduction in your assessed value, the firm takes a percentage of the tax savings you achieve in the first year. If the appeal doesn't succeed, you don't owe a fee. It's a low-risk way to find out if your assessment is too high.
What if I already missed the appeal deadline?
If you've missed the window for the current year, there's nothing to be done for that cycle. However, you can start preparing now for the next reassessment. The firm can review your current assessment so you're ready to file as soon as the next notice arrives.
How much can I realistically expect to save?
It depends entirely on how far off the county's assessment is from market value. Savings range from a few hundred dollars a year for modest homes to several thousand for larger or higher-value properties. The initial review will give you a rough estimate before you commit to anything.
Will I need to attend the equalization board hearing?
Usually not. The firm handles the hearing on your behalf in most cases. If your presence would be helpful, they'll let you know in advance and explain what to expect. Most clients find it easier to let the firm handle it.
What documentation do I need to start?
Your assessment notice is the most important thing. After that, anything that helps establish your property's actual market value is useful: recent sale prices of similar homes in your area, photos showing condition issues, or prior appraisals. The firm can work with whatever you have.
Do you handle appeals outside of Little Rock?
Yes, primarily in Pulaski and Saline counties. For clients outside those areas, they can often provide guidance remotely and refer to a local contact if in-person representation is required.
What's the difference between a property tax appeal and a homestead exemption?
An appeal challenges whether your assessed value accurately reflects market value. An exemption is a separate program that reduces the taxable value of your home regardless of the assessed value. Both can lower your tax bill, and they can often be pursued together.
Can you help with appeals for rental properties?
Yes, for smaller rental properties like single-family rentals or small multi-unit buildings. Larger income-producing properties that require a formal income and expense analysis are outside the firm's typical scope, and they'll tell you that clearly if your property falls into that category.
