How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services include residential and commercial assessment appeals, property valuation reviews, and ongoing tax reduction strategies. We handle everything from single-family homes to multi-million dollar commercial properties across Boulder County. Our assessment review process involves detailed market analysis, property inspections, and comparison studies to identify overassessments. We prepare and file all necessary appeals documentation, represent clients at hearings, and negotiate with assessors to achieve fair valuations. Additionally, we provide proactive monitoring services to catch assessment increases early and strategic advice on property improvements that might affect future valuations. Our commercial property expertise includes specialized knowledge of income approaches, cost approaches, and market comparables for office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial properties. We also assist with personal property tax issues and exemption applications where applicable.

What to Expect

Our process begins with a free assessment review where we analyze your current property tax bill and compare it to similar properties in your area. If we identify potential savings, we'll conduct a detailed property evaluation and market analysis. We then prepare comprehensive appeal documentation, including property reports, comparable sales data, and valuation analyses. Throughout the appeals process, we handle all communications with the assessor's office and represent you at hearings if necessary. Our goal is to achieve maximum tax reduction while maintaining positive relationships with local officials for future appeals.

Service Area

We serve all of Boulder County, including Boulder, Longmont, Lafayette, Louisville, Broomfield, and surrounding communities. Our local expertise covers mountain properties, urban developments, and everything in between. We're familiar with each municipality's specific assessment practices and have established relationships with local assessors' offices throughout the region.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
Signs include assessment increases significantly above market trends, higher per-square-foot values than similar properties, or assessments that exceed recent sale prices. We provide free initial reviews to identify potential issues.
What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals in Colorado?
Appeals must typically be filed by June 8th following the assessment year. However, deadlines can vary slightly by county, so it's important to act quickly once you receive your assessment notice.
How long does the appeals process take?
Most appeals are resolved within 4-8 months, though complex commercial cases can take up to a year. We work to expedite the process while ensuring thorough preparation.
Will appealing my assessment affect future years?
A successful appeal establishes a new baseline assessment that benefits you going forward. Assessors cannot retaliate against successful appellants, and the reduced assessment helps control future increases.
What evidence do you use to support appeals?
We use comparable sales data, property inspections, market analyses, income and expense information for commercial properties, and expert appraisals when necessary. Our evidence packages are comprehensive and professionally prepared.
Do I need to attend the hearing?
We typically handle hearings on your behalf, though property owner attendance can sometimes be beneficial. We'll advise you based on your specific case and comfort level.
Can I appeal if I recently bought my property?
Yes, and recent purchases can actually strengthen your case if the assessment exceeds your purchase price. We often achieve significant reductions for recently purchased properties that are overassessed.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
You pay no fees if we don't achieve savings. Unsuccessful appeals don't prevent future appeals, and we can help identify strategies for next year's assessment cycle.
