How They Can Help

Our core services focus on comprehensive property tax reduction strategies. We handle residential property tax appeals for single-family homes, condominiums, and rental properties, analyzing comparable sales data and challenging inflated assessments. For commercial clients, we provide specialized expertise in office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, and multi-family complexes. We conduct thorough valuation analyses using current market conditions, property condition assessments, and income approaches where applicable. Our assessment review process examines every aspect of your property's valuation, from square footage accuracy to comparable property selections. We also offer ongoing monitoring services to catch assessment increases before they become problems. Tax protest filing and representation services ensure proper documentation and professional advocacy throughout the appeals process. Additionally, we provide consultation on property tax planning strategies for new developments and major renovations.

What to Expect

Getting started is straightforward. First, we review your current property tax statement and recent assessment notices to identify potential savings opportunities. We'll schedule a property inspection to document current conditions and gather supporting evidence. Next, we research comparable properties and market data to build a strong case for reduction. We handle all paperwork filing and represent you at hearings before the local Board of Appeal and Equalization or County Board of Commissioners. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and strategy adjustments. Most appeals are resolved within 3-6 months, and you'll only pay our fee if we successfully reduce your taxes.

Service Area

We serve all of Ramsey County, including St. Paul, Roseville, Maplewood, White Bear Lake, and surrounding communities. Our extensive knowledge of local assessment practices and market conditions across these municipalities gives us a significant advantage in building successful appeals. We also handle select cases in adjacent Hennepin, Dakota, and Washington counties where our expertise applies to specific property types or unique valuation challenges.

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 or increased much more than your neighbors', you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Minnesota?
Most appeals must be filed by April 30th with your local Board of Appeal and Equalization. Some jurisdictions have different dates, so check with your county assessor's office.
Will appealing my assessment hurt me in future years?
No, appealing your assessment is your legal right and won't negatively impact future valuations. Assessors must base values on current market conditions regardless of past appeals.
How much can I expect to save on a successful appeal?
Savings vary, but our clients typically see 15-25% reductions in their assessed values. This translates to annual tax savings of $500-$5,000 for most residential properties.
Do I have to attend hearings if you represent me?
Usually not. We handle all hearing appearances and paperwork, though we may ask you to attend if your testimony would strengthen the case.
What if my appeal is unsuccessful?
You owe nothing under our contingency fee structure. We can also discuss options for appealing to higher levels if the initial decision seems unreasonable.
Can I appeal if I bought my property recently?
Yes, especially if your purchase price was lower than the assessed value. Recent sales provide strong evidence of market value that assessors must consider.
How long do property tax reductions last?
Reductions apply to the current tax year. However, many reductions carry forward to subsequent years unless market conditions or property improvements justify increases.
