How They Can Help

Their comprehensive property tax services include assessment review and analysis, formal appeals preparation, valuation disputes, and ongoing tax reduction consulting. They specialize in both residential and commercial property tax matters, from single-family homes to multi-million dollar commercial developments. The firm provides detailed property valuation analysis, comparing your assessment to similar properties and market conditions to identify discrepancies. For commercial clients, they offer specialized services including business personal property appeals, timber and agricultural land classifications, and industrial property valuations.

Their team works closely with certified appraisers when needed and maintains relationships with local assessors' offices to streamline the appeals process and achieve optimal results for clients.

What to Expect

Your property tax appeal starts with a comprehensive assessment review. They'll analyze your property's current valuation, recent sales data, and assessment history to determine if you have grounds for an appeal. During the initial consultation, they'll explain your options and potential savings. If you decide to move forward, they'll gather supporting documentation, including comparable sales, property condition reports, and market analysis. They handle all paperwork and filing deadlines with the county assessor's office. Throughout the process, they keep you informed of progress and represent you at hearings if needed. Most appeals are resolved within 6-12 months, and they work on a contingency basis for many cases, meaning you pay only if they reduce your taxes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property taxes are too high?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher than comparable sales, you may have grounds for an appeal. We provide free consultations to evaluate your case.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Oregon?
In Lane County, appeals must typically be filed by December 31st of the tax year. However, there are some exceptions for certain types of appeals. It's best to start the process as soon as you receive your assessment notice.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely depending on your property and circumstances. Our residential clients average $2,400 in annual savings, while commercial clients often save $15,000 or more. We'll provide realistic expectations during your consultation.
Do you charge upfront fees for residential appeals?
No, we work on contingency for most residential appeals. You pay only if we successfully reduce your taxes, typically 25-35% of the first year's savings.
What information do I need to provide for my appeal?
We'll need your property tax statement, recent sales data for comparable properties, and details about your property's condition. We'll help you gather additional documentation as needed for your specific case.
Can I appeal my property taxes myself?
Yes, you can file your own appeal. However, professional representation significantly improves your chances of success. We understand the technical requirements and have established relationships with local assessors.
How long does the appeals process take?
Most appeals are resolved within 6-12 months for residential properties and 8-18 months for complex commercial cases. We'll keep you updated on progress throughout the process.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
If we can't reduce your taxes, you pay nothing under our contingency fee structure for residential appeals. We have a high success rate, but we'll be upfront about your chances during the consultation.
