We analyze your property's assessed value against comparable sales data and current market conditions to identify potential overassessments. For commercial properties, we provide detailed valuation analysis including income approach calculations and cost approach evaluations. We handle homestead classification issues, agricultural property disputes, and commercial property reclassification requests. Our team also assists with property tax exemption applications for qualifying nonprofit organizations and reviews special assessments for validity. We prepare all necessary documentation, gather supporting evidence, and present compelling arguments on your behalf. Additionally, we provide ongoing consultation to help property owners understand their tax obligations and identify future appeal opportunities.

Your property tax appeal begins with a free consultation where we review your assessment and property details. We'll analyze recent comparable sales, inspect your property if needed, and determine the strength of your appeal case. If we proceed, we'll prepare all necessary forms and supporting documentation. We'll represent you at the county board hearing, presenting evidence and arguing your case professionally. If the initial appeal isn't successful, we can pursue the matter through tax court. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of developments and explain each step clearly. Most appeals are resolved within 3-6 months of filing.

We serve property owners throughout Dakota County and the greater Twin Cities metropolitan area, including Lakeville, Burnsville, Apple Valley, Eagan, and surrounding communities. Our attorneys are familiar with local assessment practices and have established relationships with county assessors and board members. We handle appeals in multiple counties across the metro region and can travel to represent clients at hearings statewide when necessary.
