Law Offices of Angela Boeck-Giscombe, PC & Associates

The Law Offices of Angela Boeck-Giscombe, PC & Associates has built a reputation in Colorado Springs for handling the full spectrum of tax law, including property tax appeals that many homeowners and business owners find overwhelming. Angela Boeck-Giscombe brings a legal perspective to property assessment disputes that goes beyond what a standard tax consultant can offer. Her team understands Colorado's assessment statutes and the appeal timelines that are easy to miss. The firm doesn't just file paperwork and hope for the best. They dig into comparable sales data, challenge assessor methodology, and when needed, escalate cases to the Board of Assessment Appeals or district court. That willingness to take a case all the way distinguishes this office from firms that settle early to avoid the work.

The firm handles property tax appeals for residential properties, commercial real estate, and mixed-use buildings across El Paso County. Their core service is reviewing your current assessment notice, comparing it against recent comparable sales in your neighborhood, and identifying whether the county overvalued your property. If there's a solid case, they'll file a protest on your behalf and represent you at the county assessor's hearing. For commercial clients, the team also reviews income and cost approaches to value, which assessors often use on office buildings, retail centers, and industrial properties. These methods introduce more variables and more room for error, which means more opportunity to reduce your bill. Beyond the annual appeal cycle, the office advises clients on exemptions they may qualify for, including senior homestead exemptions, disabled veteran exemptions, and agricultural classifications. They also handle cases where a property's use classification has been applied incorrectly, which can result in a significantly higher tax burden than the property actually warrants. The firm coordinates with appraisers and real estate professionals when independent valuation support strengthens a case.

The process starts with a free review of your assessment notice. You share the county's valuation and some basic property details, and the firm evaluates whether the numbers look off relative to current market conditions. If they think there's a meaningful case, they'll walk you through the fee arrangement before anything is signed. Once engaged, the team pulls comparable sales, reviews the assessor's methodology, and prepares a formal protest. Colorado has strict deadlines tied to the biennial assessment cycle, so timing matters. The firm handles the filing and schedules the hearing on your behalf. At the hearing, an attorney or qualified staff member presents the evidence directly to the assessor's office. If the outcome is unsatisfactory, the firm can take the case to the Board of Assessment Appeals and, in significant cases, to district court. Clients are kept updated throughout and consulted before any major decision is made. The goal is always a genuine reduction, not just a checked box.

The firm serves property owners throughout Colorado Springs and the broader El Paso County area, including Manitou Springs, Fountain, Security-Widefield, and Monument. They also take cases in neighboring Teller and Pueblo counties depending on the situation. Commercial clients with multi-site portfolios across the Front Range may be able to consolidate representation through this office.
