We've built our reputation on delivering fast, effective results for both residential and commercial properties throughout the Greater New Orleans area.

How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services include residential assessment appeals for single-family homes, condos, and investment properties, with special expertise in flood-damaged properties and historical homes common in New Orleans neighborhoods. We handle commercial property appeals for restaurants, retail spaces, office buildings, and warehouse facilities throughout the metro area. We provide complete market analysis using Louisiana-specific valuation methods, prepare all required documentation, and represent clients before local assessment review boards. Our services include ongoing monitoring for assessment changes, strategic advice on property improvements that could affect future taxes, and consultation on homestead exemption applications. We also specialize in properties with unique New Orleans characteristics such as elevated foundations, historical restrictions, or locations in flood-prone areas that may not be properly reflected in assessments.

What to Expect

We start with a comprehensive review of your current assessment compared to recent sales and market conditions in your specific New Orleans neighborhood. Our team schedules a property inspection to document any factors that support value reduction, including flood damage, foundation issues, needed repairs, or neighborhood characteristics affecting marketability. Once we've analyzed your situation, we prepare your formal appeal documentation and submit it to the appropriate parish assessment office within Louisiana's deadlines. We handle all communications with assessors and represent you at hearings, using our knowledge of local assessment practices and procedures. We keep you updated throughout the process and explain our strategy for achieving the best results.

Service Area

We serve all of Orleans Parish including the French Quarter, Garden District, Uptown, Mid-City, and eastern New Orleans neighborhoods. Our coverage extends throughout the Greater New Orleans metro area including Jefferson Parish communities like Metairie and Kenner, plus St. Bernard Parish and portions of St. Charles and Plaquemines parishes. This regional focus helps us understand local market variations and assessment practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my New Orleans property is overassessed?
Common signs include assessments significantly higher than similar properties in your neighborhood, valuations that don't account for flood damage or elevation requirements, or assessments that seem high compared to recent sales. We offer free preliminary reviews to evaluate your situation.
What are the deadlines for property tax appeals in Louisiana?
You typically have 60 days from the date of your assessment notice to file an appeal, though deadlines can vary by parish. Orleans Parish has specific filing periods that we track carefully to ensure timely submissions.
How do flood zones and elevation requirements affect my property assessment?
Properties in flood zones or requiring elevation may have reduced marketability and higher insurance costs that should be reflected in assessments. We analyze these factors and how they should impact your property's valuation.
Can you help with historical properties that have renovation restrictions?
Yes, we specialize in historical properties where architectural review requirements and renovation restrictions can limit market appeal and should be considered in property valuations. We understand how to present these factors effectively.
What's different about property tax appeals in Louisiana compared to other states?
Louisiana uses a unique assessment system with parish-level administration and specific procedures that differ from other states. We're familiar with these local requirements and how to navigate them effectively.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Successful appeals often result in 15-25% reductions in assessed value, though savings vary based on individual circumstances. This typically translates to hundreds or thousands in annual tax savings depending on your property value.
Do you work with properties outside Orleans Parish?
Yes, we serve the entire Greater New Orleans metro area including Jefferson, St. Bernard, St. Charles, and Plaquemines parishes. Each parish has different procedures, and we're familiar with all of them.
What happens if my appeal is denied?
If we don't achieve a reduction, you owe us nothing due to our no-win, no-fee policy. In some cases, we may recommend appeals to higher levels, and we'll advise you honestly about the prospects for success.
