Frequently Asked Questions

What types of properties do you handle for tax appeals?
We handle all property types including residential homes, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and specialized properties. Our experience covers everything from single-family homes to large commercial portfolios.
How do you determine if a property tax appeal is worthwhile?
We conduct comprehensive assessment analysis comparing your property's assessed value to market data and comparable sales. Appeals are typically worthwhile when assessments exceed market value by 10% or more.
Can you handle appeals that go to court?
Yes, our litigation experience enables us to represent clients through all appeal levels including district court proceedings. Many firms lack this capability for complex cases.
What's the success rate for property tax appeals?
Success rates vary based on property type and case strength, but properly prepared appeals typically achieve some level of reduction. We provide realistic expectations based on thorough case analysis.
How do you coordinate property tax appeals with other legal matters?
Our multi-practice background allows us to coordinate tax appeals with estate planning, business transactions, and real estate matters. This integrated approach often reveals additional opportunities for tax savings.
What documentation do I need to begin an appeal?
Bring recent tax statements, purchase records, any appraisals, and information about property condition or improvements. The more documentation you provide, the better we can evaluate your case.
Can you help with multiple properties owned by the same person or entity?
Yes, we handle portfolio appeals for investors and property management companies. Multiple properties often allow for coordinated strategies and economies of scale in fee arrangements.
What happens if we're not satisfied with the Appraisal Review Board decision?
We can pursue additional appeals to district court or state district court depending on property value and circumstances. Our litigation experience is valuable for these more complex proceedings.
