How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services include assessment appeals, property valuation reviews, and tax reduction strategies for both residential and commercial properties. We handle everything from initial property evaluations to formal hearings before county boards of equalization. Our team conducts thorough market analyses, comparing your property to similar sales and identifying assessment errors that could be costing you thousands annually. We also provide ongoing tax planning services, helping clients understand assessment cycles and prepare for future evaluations. For commercial properties, we offer specialized services including income approach valuations, highest and best use analyses, and multi-year appeal strategies. Our expertise extends to unique property types including condominiums, townhomes, and mixed-use developments where standard assessment methods often fall short.

What to Expect

Our process begins with a free consultation where we review your current assessment and recent comparable sales. If we identify potential for reduction, we'll conduct a detailed property inspection and market analysis. We then prepare a comprehensive appeal package including photographs, comparable sales data, and supporting documentation. We handle all filing deadlines and represent you at hearings if necessary. Most cases are resolved through negotiation with assessor staff, but we're prepared to present formal testimony when needed. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and explain each step in plain English.

Service Area

We serve Aurora, Denver, and surrounding Arapahoe County communities including Centennial, Greenwood Village, and Littleton. Our deep knowledge of local market conditions and assessor practices gives us an advantage in these jurisdictions. We're familiar with each county's specific procedures and have established relationships with assessor offices that help streamline the appeal process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
We provide free consultations to review your assessment against recent comparable sales. If your assessed value exceeds market evidence by more than 10%, you likely have grounds for appeal.
What's the deadline for filing an appeal?
In Colorado, you must file by June 8th following the assessment notice. However, we recommend starting the process as early as possible to allow time for thorough preparation.
Will appealing my assessment trigger an audit or retaliation?
No, Colorado law protects your right to appeal. Assessors cannot retaliate, and appeals are a normal part of the process that helps ensure fair taxation.
How much can I expect to save?
Savings vary widely based on individual circumstances. Our residential clients typically see assessed value reductions of $15,000 to $40,000, translating to annual tax savings of $300 to $1,000.
Do I need to attend the hearing?
While not required, your presence can be helpful. We handle all presentation and testimony, but having the property owner available to answer questions can strengthen the case.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
You owe nothing under our contingency arrangement. You also have the right to appeal to the state Board of Assessment Appeals if we believe the county decision was incorrect.
Can I appeal if I just bought the property?
Yes, especially if you paid significantly less than the assessed value. Recent sales are strong evidence of market value and often result in successful appeals.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most residential appeals are resolved within 3-6 months. Commercial appeals may take longer due to complexity, typically 4-8 months from filing to resolution.
