How They Can Help

We handle residential property tax protests for homeowners facing inflated assessments or incorrect property classifications. Our residential services include homestead exemption applications, senior citizen exemptions, and disability exemptions. For commercial clients, we provide comprehensive assessment reviews, income approach valuations, and appeals for office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, and industrial properties. Our valuation analysis service examines your property's assessed value against comparable sales and market conditions. We also review assessment methodologies used by local assessors, identifying errors in square footage calculations, property condition ratings, or neighborhood comparisons. Additionally, we assist with special use valuations for agricultural properties, historic properties, and properties affected by natural disasters or economic hardship.

What to Expect

Your journey starts with a free property assessment review. We analyze your current assessment, research comparable properties, and determine if you have grounds for an appeal. If we identify potential savings, we'll prepare and file your formal protest with the appropriate parish assessor's office. We handle all paperwork, gather supporting documentation, and represent you at assessment review hearings. Throughout the process, you'll receive regular updates on your case status. Most residential appeals resolve within 60-90 days, while commercial appeals may take longer depending on complexity.

Service Area

We serve East Baton Rouge Parish, West Baton Rouge Parish, Ascension Parish, and Livingston Parish. Our team knows the local assessors, their methodologies, and the most effective strategies for each jurisdiction. This local expertise gives our clients a significant advantage in property tax appeals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I save on my property taxes?
Savings vary, but our clients typically see 15-25% reductions in their annual property taxes. The exact amount depends on how much your property was over-assessed and local tax rates.
What if my appeal is unsuccessful?
If we can't reduce your assessment, you owe nothing for contingency-fee cases. We only collect fees when we deliver actual tax savings.
How long does the appeal process take?
Residential appeals typically resolve in 60-90 days. Commercial appeals can take 90-180 days depending on complexity and whether additional documentation is needed.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can file appeals annually if you believe your assessment is incorrect. However, we recommend appeals when you have strong evidence of over-assessment.
Will appealing my taxes cause problems with the assessor?
No, appeals are a normal part of the assessment process. Assessors expect them and there's no retaliation or negative consequences for filing legitimate appeals.
Do I need to attend the appeal hearing?
Usually no, we represent you at all hearings. However, for complex commercial properties, your presence might strengthen the case if you have specific knowledge about the property.
What documents do I need to provide?
We typically need your assessment notice, property deed, and any recent appraisals. For commercial properties, we may request lease agreements, income statements, or expense records.
Is there a deadline for filing appeals?
Yes, Louisiana requires appeals within 60 days of receiving your assessment notice. Missing this deadline eliminates your appeal rights for that tax year.
