Mark C. Milton - Milton Law Group

Milton Property Tax Advisors brings decades of combined experience to St. Louis area property tax challenges. Our founder, Mark Milton, previously worked as a county assessor before switching sides to help property owners fight unfair assessments. This insider knowledge gives us unique insights into how assessments are determined and where vulnerabilities exist. We focus exclusively on property tax matters, handling both residential and commercial appeals throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area. Our systematic approach has helped clients save millions in property taxes over the past decade. We believe every property owner deserves fair treatment and reasonable assessments based on actual market conditions.

Our core service is comprehensive property tax appeals for residential properties, condominiums, and commercial real estate. We start with detailed market analysis using comparable sales data, then identify assessment errors or overvaluations. For residential clients, we examine neighborhood trends, property conditions, and any factors that might reduce value. Commercial property services include income approach analysis for rental properties, obsolescence studies for older buildings, and specialized appeals for unique property types like churches or nonprofit facilities. We also handle personal property tax appeals for business equipment and machinery. Our preventive services include assessment monitoring, where we track your property's assessed value annually and alert you to significant increases. We also provide consultation for property purchases, helping buyers understand tax implications before closing. For developers, we offer guidance on new construction assessments and phased development strategies.

Your first step is a free assessment review where we examine your tax bill and property details. We'll explain whether you have viable grounds for appeal and estimate potential savings. If you proceed, we'll conduct a thorough property inspection and gather supporting documentation. Next, we prepare your formal appeal application with detailed market analysis and supporting evidence. We handle all communication with county assessors and schedule required hearings. Throughout the process, you'll receive regular updates on your case status and any deadlines. Most appeals conclude within 4-6 months of filing.

We serve St. Louis City, St. Louis County, Jefferson County, and St. Charles County. Our coverage includes Clayton, University City, Kirkwood, Chesterfield, O'Fallon, and other metro communities. We're licensed throughout Missouri and understand the nuances of each jurisdiction's assessment practices and appeal procedures.
