Kern and Company Inc

Kern and Company Inc has been helping Rhode Island property owners reduce their tax burden for over two decades. We specialize in property tax appeals and assessment challenges for both residential and commercial properties throughout the state. Our team understands that property taxes can be one of your largest annual expenses. We work diligently to ensure you're not paying more than your fair share. With extensive knowledge of local assessment practices and market conditions, we've successfully reduced property tax bills for thousands of clients across Rhode Island.

We offer comprehensive property tax consulting services designed to maximize your savings. Our residential property tax appeals help homeowners challenge overassessments and secure fair valuations. For commercial clients, we provide detailed market analysis and property valuation reviews to identify assessment errors. Our assessment review process includes thorough property inspections, comparable sales analysis, and income approach valuations where applicable. We handle all paperwork and represent you during hearings with local assessors. Our tax reduction consulting extends beyond appeals to include strategic planning for property improvements and transfers. We also provide valuation analysis for estate planning, divorce proceedings, and business transactions. Each service is tailored to your specific property type and local market conditions.

Your property tax reduction journey starts with a free consultation where we review your current assessment and recent comparable sales. We'll identify potential savings opportunities and explain our fee structure. Once you decide to move forward, we conduct a comprehensive property analysis including on-site inspections and market research. We prepare and file all necessary appeals paperwork within required deadlines. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and strategy. If your case requires a hearing, we represent you before the local board of assessment review. Most cases resolve within 3-6 months, depending on local procedures and case complexity.

We serve property owners throughout Rhode Island, with particular focus on Providence, Warwick, Cranston, Pawtucket, and surrounding communities. Our deep knowledge of local assessment practices and market conditions in these areas allows us to develop targeted strategies for each municipality's specific procedures and valuation methods.
