Madsen Law Firm

Madsen Law Firm is a tax law practice based in Broomfield, Colorado, serving property owners across the Denver metro and broader Front Range. The firm focuses on helping individuals and businesses navigate Colorado's property assessment system, with an emphasis on identifying overvaluations and building credible, well-documented appeals. Broomfield's position at the intersection of Denver, Boulder, and Adams County jurisdictions gives the firm regular exposure to a wide range of assessment approaches and property types. That cross-county experience is genuinely useful, since each county has its own tendencies when it comes to how aggressively it assesses different property classes. Clients benefit from an attorney who understands those differences rather than treating every appeal as interchangeable.

Madsen Law Firm offers property tax representation at every stage of Colorado's appeal process. For clients just starting out, the firm provides assessment reviews that analyze whether the county's valuation holds up against comparable market data. If an appeal is warranted, they handle the formal protest, present the case at County Board of Equalization hearings, and can carry the matter to the Colorado Board of Assessment Appeals or district court if necessary. Residential clients typically come in because they've noticed their assessed value jumped significantly in the latest cycle and want to know whether it's defensible. Commercial clients often have more complex situations, involving income-producing properties where the county's methodology may not reflect actual net operating income or current cap rates. The firm also assists with exemption applications, including agricultural classifications, senior exemptions, and business personal property matters. These aren't technically appeals but they involve similar analytical work and can meaningfully reduce a property owner's overall tax burden. Clients dealing with new construction or recent subdivision also sometimes face assessment anomalies that require a closer look.

Madsen Law Firm starts by reviewing the property owner's current notice of valuation alongside any prior assessment history. They pull comparable sales data and, for income-producing properties, analyze the income and expense figures the county relied on. If the data supports an appeal, the firm prepares the formal protest and submits it within Colorado's protest window. They then handle any required correspondence with the county assessor's office and represent the client at the County Board of Equalization if a hearing is scheduled. If the county's result is unsatisfactory, the firm advises on whether escalating to the Board of Assessment Appeals makes financial sense given the property's value and the size of the potential reduction. Not every case warrants escalation, and the firm gives clients an honest assessment of the odds before recommending further action. Throughout the process, clients receive clear updates and aren't left guessing about where things stand. The goal is to get the best achievable result within the current cycle, not to run up billable hours on cases that aren't likely to move.

Madsen Law Firm primarily serves Broomfield County, Adams County, Jefferson County, and Boulder County. The firm also handles cases in Denver County and Weld County for clients with commercial or investment properties. Broomfield's central location makes it practical to cover a wide geographic range without the overhead of multiple offices. Clients with properties in multiple counties are welcome.
