Frequently Asked Questions

When can I appeal my property tax assessment?
In Missouri, you typically have 30 days from receiving your assessment notice to file an appeal. Deadlines vary by county, so prompt action is important.
What are my chances of winning a property tax appeal?
Success rates vary based on case facts and market conditions. Mike provides honest assessments of your appeal prospects during initial consultations.
How much can I save on property taxes?
Savings depend on assessment reductions achieved. Successful appeals might reduce property values by 10-30%, translating to hundreds or thousands in annual tax savings.
Do I need an attorney for property tax appeals?
While not required, legal representation significantly improves success rates. Attorneys understand evidence requirements and hearing procedures that laypeople often miss.
What evidence do I need for my appeal?
Comparable sales, property condition issues, income data for commercial properties, and professional appraisals strengthen appeals. Mike helps identify and gather relevant evidence.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals resolve within 3-6 months, depending on hearing schedules and case complexity. Some may take longer if additional evidence is needed.
Will appealing my taxes trigger an audit?
Property tax appeals are separate from income tax matters and don't trigger IRS audits. Appeals are legitimate taxpayer rights exercised regularly.
Can I appeal if my property value increased?
Yes, if the increase seems excessive compared to market conditions or similar properties. Rising markets don't automatically justify all assessment increases.
