Our property tax services begin with thorough assessment analysis using multiple valuation approaches to identify overassessments. We examine sales comparisons, cost approaches, and income methodologies where applicable to build compelling cases for tax reduction. For residential properties, we focus on market comparisons and property condition factors that assessors may have overlooked. Commercial and investment property owners benefit from our specialized knowledge of income capitalization and market analysis. We prepare detailed appraisal reviews, challenge assessment methodologies, and negotiate directly with assessment offices to achieve fair valuations. Our services also include pre-purchase assessment reviews for buyers, helping identify potential tax issues before closing. We provide ongoing monitoring services to catch inappropriate assessment increases and respond promptly when market conditions support new appeals.

We start with a comprehensive review of your assessment and property details, including a site visit when necessary to document any issues affecting value. Our analysis includes reviewing recent sales data, assessment records, and market trends to determine if you're paying excessive taxes. If we identify potential savings, we'll prepare a detailed appeal including all supporting documentation and file it within required deadlines. We handle all communications with assessment offices and represent you at hearings if informal negotiations aren't successful. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and explain what to expect at each stage.

We primarily serve Fayette County and surrounding central Kentucky communities including Georgetown, Versailles, and Frankfort. Our knowledge of local assessment practices and market conditions is crucial for building successful appeals. We occasionally handle cases in adjoining counties for existing clients or unique properties that match our expertise.
