How They Can Help

We provide complete property tax appeal services including initial assessment review, formal protest filing, and representation at administrative hearings. Our residential services cover single-family homes, condominiums, and vacant land appeals, along with homestead exemption applications and special use valuations. For commercial clients, we handle complex valuation disputes involving office buildings, retail properties, industrial facilities, and multi-family housing. We work with qualified appraisers to challenge assessor methodologies and prepare compelling evidence packages. Our services also include assessment accuracy reviews, exemption applications, and ongoing tax planning consultation. We represent clients through all levels of the appeals process, including potential court proceedings when necessary.

What to Expect

Your case begins with a detailed consultation where we review your assessment notice, property details, and local market conditions. We'll explain your appeal rights and provide an honest assessment of your case prospects. Once retained, we immediately file necessary paperwork to protect your appeal deadlines. We then conduct thorough property research including site visits, comparable sales analysis, and review of assessor records. We prepare comprehensive appeal documentation and handle all communications with tax authorities. Throughout the process, we provide regular updates and explain our strategy. Most residential appeals are resolved within 6-9 months, though commercial cases may take longer due to complexity.

We also handle significant commercial appeals statewide and have experience with properties in rural counties across Mississippi. Our location provides convenient access for clients in the Jackson metro area while maintaining familiarity with diverse local market conditions that affect property values.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a property tax assessment appealable?
Appeals are appropriate when your assessment exceeds fair market value, contains factual errors, or uses incorrect valuation methods. Even modest over-assessments can justify appeals given long-term savings.
How do contingency fees work for property tax appeals?
You pay attorney fees only if we achieve tax savings. The fee is typically a percentage of first-year savings, making quality representation accessible to all property owners.
What's the difference between assessed value and market value?
Assessed value is what the tax assessor determines for tax purposes, while market value is what your property would sell for. Assessments should reflect market value but sometimes don't.
Can I appeal if I think my neighbor's assessment is too low?
No, you can only appeal your own property's assessment. However, comparable properties with lower assessments can support your appeal if they're truly similar to yours.
What happens to my taxes while the appeal is pending?
You must continue paying taxes based on the current assessment during the appeal process. If successful, you'll receive refunds for any overpayment.
Do you handle appeals for all property types?
We handle residential, commercial, and vacant land appeals. Each property type requires different strategies and expertise to achieve optimal results.
How long do I have to file an appeal?
Mississippi typically allows 30 days from your assessment notice to file an appeal. Missing this deadline eliminates your appeal rights for that tax year.
What evidence helps win property tax appeals?
Recent comparable sales, property condition issues, market trends, and errors in property descriptions all provide strong evidence for appeals.
