How They Can Help

Quraishi Law Firm handles property tax appeals and assessment challenges throughout Arkansas, working with both residential homeowners and commercial property owners who believe their assessed values don't reflect market reality. The firm reviews county appraisal records, gathers comparable sales data, and prepares formal appeals to the Arkansas Assessment Coordination Division when needed. On the estate planning side, attorneys structure trusts, wills, and ownership arrangements that account for future property tax implications - particularly important for families passing down farmland or commercial real estate in Arkansas. Business law services include entity formation and restructuring, which often intersects with how property is assessed and taxed at the state and local level. The firm also handles IRS and state tax disputes, penalty abatement requests, and installment agreement negotiations for clients dealing with back taxes. For small business owners, combining business law with tax strategy under one roof means fewer handoffs and more coherent advice across your whole financial picture.

What to Expect

The process starts with a free initial consultation where the attorney reviews your current assessment notice and any documentation you have. From there, they pull county records and recent comparable sales to determine whether an appeal is worth pursuing - they won't recommend filing if the numbers don't support it. If there's a strong case, the firm prepares a formal appeal package including a written argument, supporting comparables, and any appraisal reports needed. They handle all filings with the county board of equalization and, if necessary, escalate to the Arkansas Assessment Coordination Division or circuit court. For estate and business matters that involve property tax, the process involves a deeper intake to understand your full asset picture before any documents are drafted. The goal is always a clean, defensible structure that holds up over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to appeal my property assessment in Arkansas?
You generally have 30 days from the date of your assessment notice to file with the county board of equalization. Missing this deadline typically means you're locked into the current assessment for the year, so it's worth calling as soon as you receive a notice that seems off.
Does it cost anything to find out if my assessment is worth appealing?
The initial consultation is free. The attorney will review your notice and pull basic county data before recommending whether to proceed, so you won't pay anything until there's a clear path forward.
What happens if I lose at the county board level?
You can escalate to the Arkansas Assessment Coordination Division and, if needed, to circuit court. The firm can represent you at each level, though the cost and timeline increase as you move up the appeals ladder.
Can you help with both residential and commercial property appeals?
Yes. The firm handles both, though commercial cases tend to be more involved because valuation methodologies like the income approach require more documentation and analysis than a residential comparables argument.
How does property tax planning fit into estate planning?
When you transfer real property to heirs or through a trust, the way it's owned and titled affects how it gets reassessed and taxed going forward. Building that into your estate plan from the start prevents surprises later.
Do you handle IRS tax disputes as well as property taxes?
Yes. The firm handles federal and state income tax disputes, penalty abatement, and installment agreements in addition to property assessment appeals. Many clients come in with a property tax issue and end up addressing other tax matters at the same time.
What information should I bring to the first meeting?
Bring your current and any prior assessment notices, your most recent property tax bill, any appraisal or purchase records you have, and if it's a business property, income and expense statements. The more context available upfront, the more useful the consultation.
Are contingency fee arrangements available?
Contingency arrangements may be available for commercial property tax appeals where the potential savings are significant. This gets discussed during the initial consultation based on your specific property and assessed value.
