Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals are resolved within 3-6 months, depending on the county and complexity of the case. Simple residential appeals may be completed faster, while commercial properties often require more extensive analysis and documentation.
What happens if my appeal is denied?
If the county board denies your appeal, you can appeal to the Kansas Board of Tax Appeals (BOTA) and ultimately to district court. We handle appeals at all levels and will advise you on the best strategy for each stage.
How much can I save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely depending on the degree of overassessment. Typical successful appeals result in 5-20% reductions in assessed value, translating to hundreds or thousands in annual tax savings.
Do you guarantee results?
While we can't guarantee specific outcomes, our high success rate reflects our thorough preparation and expertise. We only take cases where we believe there's a reasonable chance of achieving savings.
When should I file an appeal?
Kansas has specific deadlines that vary by county, typically 30 days after assessment notices are mailed. However, we recommend reviewing your assessment annually and contacting us early if you suspect an overassessment.
What evidence do I need for an appeal?
Strong appeals require comparable sales data, property condition documentation, and market analysis. We handle all evidence gathering, including property inspections, market research, and preparation of valuation reports.
Can you help with commercial properties?
Yes, we handle all types of commercial properties including office buildings, retail centers, warehouses, and multi-family properties. Commercial appeals often involve more complex valuation methods and typically result in larger potential savings.
What if my property has unique features?
Unique properties often present the best appeal opportunities because standard assessment methods may not accurately reflect their market value. We specialize in valuing properties with unusual characteristics, functional obsolescence, or environmental issues.
