Keating & Lyden, LLC

Keating & Lyden, LLC has been serving Boulder property owners for over fifteen years, specializing in property tax appeals and assessment reviews. Our experienced team combines legal expertise with deep knowledge of Colorado's property tax system to help clients achieve fair assessments and reduce their tax burden. We understand that property taxes represent one of the largest expenses for homeowners and businesses alike. That's why we're committed to providing thorough, professional service that delivers real results. Our attorneys work closely with certified appraisers and tax professionals to build compelling cases that stand up to county assessor scrutiny.

Our comprehensive property tax services cover every aspect of the appeal process, from initial assessment review to formal hearings before the Board of Assessment Appeals. We conduct detailed property inspections, analyze comparable sales data, and review assessment methodologies to identify opportunities for tax reduction. Our team prepares all necessary documentation, including professional appraisals when needed, and represents clients at administrative hearings. We also provide ongoing assessment monitoring services to catch potential issues before they become problems. For commercial properties, we offer specialized services including income approach valuations and market analysis. Additionally, we assist with property tax exemptions for qualifying properties, including agricultural, charitable, and historic designations. Our preventive services include annual assessment reviews and strategic planning to minimize future tax exposure while ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements.

Our process begins with a comprehensive property assessment review where we analyze your current valuation against market data and comparable properties. We'll schedule an on-site inspection to document any factors that might support a lower assessment, including structural issues, functional obsolescence, or environmental concerns. Next, we prepare a detailed appeal package including supporting documentation, professional appraisals if needed, and legal arguments. We file all necessary paperwork within statutory deadlines and represent you at hearings before the county assessor and Board of Assessment Appeals. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and provide clear explanations of complex tax regulations.

We serve Boulder County and surrounding areas including Lafayette, Louisville, Longmont, and Nederland. Our team is familiar with assessment practices across multiple Colorado counties and can handle appeals in Jefferson, Adams, and Weld counties as well. We understand local market conditions and assessor methodologies that vary between jurisdictions.
