How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services include detailed assessment reviews where we analyze your property's current valuation against comparable sales and market conditions. We handle formal appeals to the Property Valuation Administrator (PVA) and represent clients before local boards of assessment appeals. For commercial properties, we conduct thorough income and expense analyses to challenge inflated assessments. We also provide valuation analysis services, preparing detailed reports that support your case with market data, property condition assessments, and economic factors affecting value. Our residential tax protest services cover everything from initial filing to hearing representation. Additionally, we offer ongoing monitoring services to catch assessment increases early and provide annual review consultations to keep your taxes optimized year after year.

What to Expect

Your journey begins with a free property assessment review where we analyze your current tax situation and identify potential savings opportunities. We'll examine your property record card, recent comparable sales, and assessment history to determine appeal viability. If we find grounds for appeal, we'll gather supporting documentation including property inspections, market analysis, and expert valuations as needed. We handle all filing requirements and deadlines, preparing your case for presentation to the local board. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and represent your interests at all hearings until resolution.

Service Area

We serve property owners throughout central Kentucky, with primary coverage in Adair, Taylor, Green, and surrounding counties. Our Columbia location provides convenient access to local PVA offices and assessment boards. We also handle select cases in Louisville and Lexington metropolitan areas for commercial properties and complex residential appeals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Compare your assessment to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessed value significantly exceeds market evidence, you may have grounds for appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Kentucky?
Appeals must be filed by the third Monday in September following the tax year. Missing this deadline means waiting until the next reassessment cycle.
Will appealing my taxes increase my assessment?
No, Kentucky law prohibits increasing assessments during the appeal process. The worst outcome is maintaining your current assessment level.
How long does the appeal process typically take?
Most appeals resolve within 3-6 months for residential properties. Commercial appeals may take 6-12 months due to complexity and additional documentation requirements.
What evidence do I need for a successful appeal?
Strong appeals typically include recent comparable sales, property condition documentation, and professional market analysis. We help gather and present this evidence effectively.
Can I appeal my taxes every year?
You can request a review annually, but successful appeals require new evidence or changed circumstances. We monitor your property to identify legitimate appeal opportunities.
What percentage of appeals are successful?
Success rates vary widely, but our practice achieves reductions in over 80% of cases we accept. We pre-screen cases to focus on those with genuine merit.
Do you offer payment plans for your services?
Yes, we offer flexible payment arrangements including contingency fees for qualifying cases. Free consultations help determine the best fee structure for your situation.
