Older Lundy Koch & Martino

Older Lundy Koch & Martino brings decades of legal expertise to property tax consulting in Tampa. Our team combines traditional legal knowledge with modern assessment analysis techniques to help property owners reduce their tax burden effectively. We understand that property taxes can significantly impact your bottom line, whether you're a homeowner or commercial property owner. Our attorneys work closely with certified appraisers and tax specialists to build compelling cases for assessment reductions. We've successfully challenged thousands of property assessments across Florida, saving clients millions in unnecessary taxes.

Our comprehensive property tax services include residential and commercial assessment appeals, valuation analysis, and ongoing tax reduction consulting. We handle everything from single-family home protests to complex commercial property disputes involving office buildings, retail centers, and industrial facilities. We provide detailed market analysis comparing your property to similar sales and rentals in your area. Our team reviews assessment methodologies, identifies errors in county records, and documents any factors that might reduce your property's value. We also offer pre-appeal consultations to evaluate your chances of success before filing formal protests. For commercial clients, we provide ongoing monitoring services to catch assessment increases early and respond quickly during appeal windows.

Your property tax appeal journey starts with a free consultation where we review your assessment and recent comparable sales. We'll provide an honest evaluation of your case's merit and potential savings. If we move forward, we gather supporting documentation including recent sales data, income statements for commercial properties, and photographs highlighting any issues affecting value. We prepare and file all necessary paperwork with the county, represent you at hearings, and negotiate settlements when appropriate. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and next steps. Most residential cases resolve within 3-4 months, while commercial appeals may take 6-12 months depending on complexity.

We serve property owners throughout Tampa Bay, including Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, and Polk counties. Our Tampa office is centrally located for easy access to county offices and hearing locations. While we focus primarily on the Tampa Bay metropolitan area, we also handle select cases in other Florida counties for existing commercial clients with multiple properties. Our local knowledge of county assessors and hearing officers gives us a strategic advantage in negotiations.
