Murrah Doyle Wigle & Torre

Murrah Doyle Wigle & Torre brings decades of legal experience to property tax challenges throughout Central Florida, combining expertise in real estate law, estate planning, and tax law to provide comprehensive solutions for property owners. Our established Winter Park practice has served the community since 1985, building relationships and reputation on consistent results and professional integrity. Our approach to property tax appeals integrates multiple areas of legal expertise, recognizing that property ownership often involves complex estate planning, business structure, and tax considerations beyond simple valuation disputes. Whether you're a homeowner dealing with your first assessment increase or a sophisticated investor managing multiple commercial properties, we provide the legal depth and practical experience necessary to protect your interests effectively.

We offer full-service legal representation for property tax matters, from initial assessment review through circuit court appeals when necessary. Our residential services cover single-family homes, condominiums, townhomes, and investment properties, with particular expertise in estate-owned properties where probate and tax issues intersect. Commercial property tax appeals represent a significant portion of our practice, including office buildings, retail centers, industrial properties, and multi-family developments. We excel at challenging income approach methodologies, questioning inappropriate market adjustments, and identifying assessment errors that other professionals might overlook. Beyond traditional appeals, our comprehensive legal services include estate planning strategies to minimize future property tax burdens, trust and entity structuring for tax efficiency, and transaction planning to optimize property tax consequences. We also handle complex exemption applications, including those involving trusts, estates, and business entities that require careful legal analysis to ensure compliance with Florida statutes.

Our comprehensive approach begins with a legal analysis that examines not only your current assessment but also the broader legal context affecting your property. We review ownership structure, examine deed restrictions or easements, and identify legal factors that might support your appeal beyond simple market value considerations. We prepare detailed legal briefs supported by thorough research and appropriate expert testimony when necessary. Our preparation includes comprehensive discovery requests, examination of the property appraiser's methodology, and identification of both factual and legal deficiencies in the assessment process. During Value Adjustment Board proceedings, we present cases with the precision and advocacy skills that come from decades of legal practice. Our experience with administrative hearings and understanding of evidence rules often proves decisive in achieving favorable outcomes. We maintain regular communication throughout the process, ensuring you understand both the legal strategy and practical implications of each development in your case.
