If they find opportunities for reduction, they'll explain your options and likely outcomes. Once engaged, they handle all aspects of the appeal process including deadline compliance, evidence gathering, and formal presentation preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of properties do you handle appeals for?
We handle all property types including single-family homes, condos, commercial buildings, industrial properties, and multi-family housing. Our attorneys have experience with unique properties that require specialized valuation approaches.
How do you determine if my assessment can be successfully appealed?
We analyze your assessed value against recent comparable sales, inspect your property for factors affecting value, and review market conditions. We only recommend appeals where we identify genuine opportunities for meaningful reductions.
Can you appeal assessments on rental properties?
Yes, investment properties are often good candidates for appeals. We analyze rental income, property conditions, and market factors that may support lower valuations than assessors initially determined.
What happens if the county increases my assessment during the appeal?
Counties cannot increase your assessment during a properly filed appeal unless they discover previously unknown improvements. Your assessment can only be reduced or remain the same through the appeal process.
Do I need to provide access to my property for inspection?
While not always required, property inspections often strengthen appeal cases by documenting condition issues or features that affect value. We coordinate any necessary inspections to minimize inconvenience.
How long do assessment reductions typically last?
Assessment reductions apply to the specific tax year appealed. However, successful appeals often influence future assessments, especially if based on property condition issues or market factors that persist.
Can you help with properties in other New Mexico counties?
Yes, we represent clients throughout New Mexico. While procedures vary by county, our attorneys are familiar with assessment practices and appeal processes across the state.
What documentation should I gather before starting an appeal?
Collect your assessment notices, recent property surveys, repair estimates, photos of property defects, and any recent appraisals. We'll help identify what additional evidence might strengthen your specific case.
