How They Can Help

Pruett Tax Law offers a broad range of tax services under one roof. On the property tax side, the firm handles residential and commercial assessment appeals, helping clients identify overvaluations and navigate the Arizona appeals process from initial filing through formal hearings. For commercial clients, the firm reviews income-based valuations, cost approaches, and comparable sales data to build a compelling case for reduction. Beyond property tax, the firm provides IRS representation for audits, collection matters, and penalty abatement requests. Business clients can work with Pruett Tax Law on entity structuring, tax compliance, and state tax disputes. The firm also handles installment agreements, offers in compromise, and other resolution options for clients with outstanding tax liabilities. One practical advantage of working with a full-service tax law firm is that related issues often come up during an appeal or planning engagement. Pruett Tax Law can handle those connected issues without the client needing to find another advisor. They review each situation carefully and explain which services are worth pursuing based on the likely outcome. They won't push for a strategy that the numbers don't support, which is a reasonable approach for clients trying to manage their costs.

What to Expect

The process at Pruett Tax Law starts with a review of your tax situation. For property tax appeals, that means pulling your current assessment, researching comparable properties, and identifying whether there's a meaningful gap between the assessed value and what the evidence supports. If there is, the firm prepares and files the formal appeal documentation and begins the negotiation process with the county assessor. For IRS and state tax matters, the firm starts by reviewing your notices, returns, and any existing correspondence with tax authorities. They'll map out the options available to you, including resolution programs like offers in compromise or installment agreements, and help you choose an approach based on your financial situation. Throughout either process, the team keeps clients informed at each stage. You'll hear from the firm when there are updates and can reach out with questions between those updates. The goal is to resolve your issue as efficiently as possible while making sure you understand what's happening and why.

Service Area

Pruett Tax Law serves clients throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area, including Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Glendale, and surrounding Maricopa County communities. For IRS representation and state tax matters, the firm can work with clients remotely regardless of location within Arizona. Commercial property owners in other Arizona counties with significant assets near Phoenix are also welcome to inquire about representation. The firm handles a mix of in-person and remote engagements depending on what the case requires.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Pruett Tax Law's main focus?
The firm handles both property tax appeals and broader tax law matters, including IRS representation and state tax disputes. It's a good fit for clients whose property tax issues are part of a larger tax situation that needs coordinated handling.
How does the contingency fee work for property tax appeals?
You don't pay any upfront legal fees. If the appeal reduces your assessment, the firm takes a percentage of the savings. If there's no reduction, you don't owe appeal fees.
Can Pruett Tax Law help with IRS debt?
Yes. The firm handles IRS collection cases including audits, levies, and resolution programs like offers in compromise and installment agreements. They represent clients in all direct dealings with the IRS.
How long does an Arizona property tax appeal take?
Residential appeals typically resolve in 3 to 9 months. Commercial appeals are often more complex and can take 6 to 18 months depending on the property type and whether the case goes to a formal hearing.
What should I bring to the first meeting?
Bring your most recent property tax notice, any appraisals or purchase documents, and if you have an IRS or state tax matter, bring those notices and recent tax returns. The more context you provide, the faster the firm can assess your situation.
Does the firm handle commercial property appeals?
Yes. Pruett Tax Law works with commercial property owners on assessment appeals, including analysis of income-based valuation approaches commonly used for commercial real estate in Arizona.
How do I know if my assessment is too high?
The firm can do an initial review at no cost. They'll compare your assessed value to recent comparable sales and other data to determine whether there's a gap worth challenging. If there isn't, they'll tell you that too.
Is the firm a good fit for smaller residential cases?
Yes, though the contingency fee structure means the firm focuses on cases where the potential savings justify the effort. The initial review will tell you whether your property meets that threshold before you commit to anything.
