Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a property tax appeal?
In New Mexico, you typically have 30 days from when your assessment notice is mailed. Missing this deadline can eliminate your appeal rights for that tax year.
What percentage of appeals result in tax reductions?
Our success rate exceeds 80% for contested assessments. However, we only pursue appeals where we identify genuine opportunities for meaningful reductions.
Can you appeal my taxes if I think my neighborhood values are declining?
Yes, declining market conditions are valid grounds for appeal. We analyze comparable sales data to demonstrate when assessments exceed current market values.
Do I need to attend hearings or can you handle everything?
As your attorney, I can represent you at all hearings without your presence required. However, some clients choose to attend to better understand the process.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely based on your property and market conditions. Successful residential appeals often achieve 10-25% reductions, while commercial properties may see larger decreases.
Will appealing my assessment trigger an audit or investigation?
No, filing a legitimate property tax appeal is your legal right and won't trigger any negative consequences. Assessors expect and regularly handle appeals.
Can you help if my business property assessment seems too high?
Absolutely. Commercial property appeals are a specialty, and we handle complex valuation issues including income approach challenges and obsolescence arguments.
What if my appeal is unsuccessful?
If we don't achieve any reduction, you owe no fees under our contingency arrangement. We can also discuss further appeal options including district court proceedings.
