Richards & Partners

Richards & Partners brings over two decades of experience helping Miami property owners challenge unfair tax assessments. The firm specializes in both residential and commercial property tax appeals, combining legal expertise with deep knowledge of Florida's assessment processes. Their team understands that property taxes can significantly impact your bottom line. Whether you're dealing with a sudden spike in your home's assessment or managing multiple commercial properties, they work to ensure you're paying only what you legally owe. The firm has successfully reduced tax burdens for thousands of clients across Miami-Dade County.

The firm handles comprehensive property tax appeal services for all property types. They review assessment notices, analyze comparable property values, and identify discrepancies in county appraisals. For commercial properties, they examine income approaches, market comparisons, and depreciation factors that assessors often overlook. Residential services include homestead exemption applications, portability transfers, and appeals for properties affected by market downturns or damage. They also assist with agricultural exemptions and special-use valuations. The team prepares detailed evidence packages including professional appraisals, market studies, and legal briefs. They represent clients at Value Adjustment Board hearings and handle all administrative procedures. Additional services include ongoing assessment monitoring and proactive filing strategies to prevent future over-assessments.

The process starts with a free assessment review where they analyze your property's current valuation against market data. If they identify grounds for appeal, they'll explain the potential savings and required timeline. You'll sign an engagement agreement outlining their contingency fee structure. Next, they gather supporting documentation including recent sales data, property condition reports, and income statements for commercial properties. They prepare and file all necessary appeals within statutory deadlines. Throughout the process, they keep you informed of progress and coordinate any required property inspections. They handle all hearings and negotiations with county officials.

Richards & Partners serves all of Miami-Dade County including Miami, Coral Gables, Aventura, and Kendall. They handle properties throughout the county's diverse markets, from downtown high-rises to suburban residential communities. The firm is familiar with assessment practices across all municipal jurisdictions within the county and maintains relationships with local appraisers and county officials.
