About Kissee Solutions

Kissee Solutions operates out of Payson and serves property owners across Gila County who want a clearer picture of whether their assessment is fair. The firm takes a practical, business-minded approach to property tax consulting, drawing on its contract and business law background to build thorough, well-documented appeals. It's not a high-volume shop that processes hundreds of cookie-cutter filings. Each case gets real attention. Payson and the surrounding communities in the Rim Country have seen significant property value swings driven by remote work migration, vacation home demand, and seasonal market dynamics. Those shifts don't always translate cleanly into how the county assessor values properties, and that gap creates appeal opportunities. Kissee Solutions has the analytical tools and legal grounding to identify those gaps and act on them before deadlines pass.

How They Can Help

Kissee Solutions offers property tax assessment review and appeal representation for residential and commercial property owners in Gila County. The process starts with a detailed review of the current assessment, an analysis of comparable sales, and an evaluation of the methodology the assessor used. If the assessment doesn't hold up, the firm prepares and files the formal appeal. For business clients, Kissee Solutions goes beyond the real property assessment to review business personal property tax filings, which are a common source of overpayment for small and mid-size companies. Equipment lists, depreciation schedules, and classification codes are all areas where errors accumulate over time. The firm also helps clients with tax planning around property acquisitions. If you're buying commercial property or vacant land in Gila County, Kissee Solutions can give you a realistic projection of what the post-purchase assessment is likely to look like and how much tax exposure you're taking on. That information matters when you're negotiating a purchase price or structuring a deal. Contract review for real estate transactions is also available for clients who want one firm to handle both the legal and tax sides of a transaction.

What to Expect

Kissee Solutions starts every engagement with a no-commitment review of your current assessment. You provide your notice and any relevant property information, and the firm does the initial analysis to determine whether there's a reasonable basis for an appeal. If the review supports filing, the firm drafts the petition, compiles supporting evidence, and submits everything to the Gila County Assessor within the required timeframe. You'll receive a copy of everything filed on your behalf. Most residential appeals resolve at the informal hearing stage, where the consultant presents the case directly to the assessor's office. If the outcome isn't satisfactory, the matter can be escalated to the State Board of Equalization. Kissee Solutions will advise you at each decision point about whether continuing makes financial sense. For business clients, the process also includes a review of prior-year filings to identify potential refund opportunities if past assessments were also overstated. In some cases, amended returns can recover overpayments going back multiple years.

Service Area

Kissee Solutions primarily serves Gila County, including Payson, Globe, Miami, Show Low, and surrounding Rim Country communities. The firm also takes on matters in Navajo and Yavapai counties for clients with properties in those jurisdictions. Business clients with locations across multiple rural Arizona counties are welcome to inquire about representation across their full portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is business personal property tax and should I be appealing it?
In Arizona, counties assess a tax on tangible personal property owned by businesses, including equipment, furniture, and machinery. These assessments are often overstated because the county uses standard depreciation schedules that don't reflect actual market values. If you haven't reviewed your personal property filing recently, it's worth a look.
How does appealing my assessment affect my escrow and mortgage payment?
If you win an appeal and your assessed value decreases, your property tax bill for the year will be lower. If your lender handles taxes through escrow, they'll adjust your monthly payment at the next annual escrow review. The savings flow through, but there may be a lag of several months.
Can I appeal a vacation rental property's assessment?
Yes, and there are often good arguments to make. Short-term rental properties have different income profiles and market dynamics than owner-occupied homes. Kissee Solutions has experience with vacation and STR property appeals specifically in the Payson and Rim Country market.
What happens if I miss the appeal deadline?
You lose your right to challenge the current year's assessment. The next opportunity is when the following year's notice is issued. This is the main reason to act quickly once you receive your Notice of Valuation.
Do you handle appeals for out-of-state property owners?
Yes. Many Rim Country properties are owned by people who live in Phoenix, California, or elsewhere. You don't need to be local to work with Kissee Solutions. The process can be handled entirely remotely.
How far back can I go to recover overpayments on business personal property?
In Arizona, you can generally file amended returns or appeal prior-year assessments within specific time limits, typically up to two years in some circumstances. Kissee Solutions reviews prior filings as part of the engagement to identify any refund opportunities.
What information do I need to bring to get started?
Your current Notice of Valuation, the prior year's notice if you have it, any recent appraisals, and basic information about the property like square footage, age, and condition. For rentals, lease agreements and income records help too.
Is there any risk that my assessment goes up if I file an appeal?
It's technically possible, but uncommon. Kissee Solutions evaluates that risk before recommending you file. If your property appears underassessed relative to market value, they'll tell you rather than file an appeal that could backfire.
