How They Can Help

We handle comprehensive property tax appeal services including initial assessment reviews, formal protest filings, and administrative hearings. Our residential services cover homestead exemption applications, agricultural use valuations, and over-assessment challenges. For commercial clients, we manage complex valuation disputes, income approach analyses, and comparative market studies. Our valuation analysis service examines your property's assessment against comparable sales and market conditions. We prepare detailed reports highlighting assessment errors and supporting documentation for appeals. Additionally, we provide ongoing tax planning consultation to help property owners understand their rights and identify potential savings opportunities before assessments become final. Our litigation support includes representation at all levels of the appeals process.

What to Expect

Your case begins with a free consultation where we review your property tax notices and assessment details. We'll explain your appeal rights and timeline requirements specific to Mississippi law. If we take your case, we immediately file necessary paperwork to preserve your appeal rights. Next, we conduct thorough property research including comparable sales analysis and inspection of assessment records. We prepare comprehensive appeal documentation and represent you at administrative hearings. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of developments and strategy decisions. Most cases resolve within 6-12 months, though complex commercial disputes may take longer.

Our Madison office provides convenient access for clients in the greater Jackson metropolitan area. We handle cases statewide for significant commercial properties and complex valuation disputes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Compare your assessment to similar properties that have sold recently in your area. If your assessment significantly exceeds recent comparable sales, you may have grounds for appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal?
In Mississippi, you typically have 30 days from receiving your assessment notice to file an appeal. Don't wait, as missing this deadline eliminates your appeal rights.
Do you charge upfront fees for residential appeals?
Most residential appeals work on contingency, meaning you pay only if we achieve tax savings. We'll discuss fee structure during your free consultation.
How long does the appeal process take?
Residential appeals typically resolve within 6-12 months. Commercial appeals may take 12-18 months due to their complexity.
What evidence do I need for my appeal?
Recent comparable sales, property condition issues, and any factors affecting value help support your case. We'll help gather and organize necessary evidence.
Can I appeal if I've already paid my taxes?
Yes, you can still appeal even after paying your taxes. However, it's better to file your appeal before payment to avoid potential collection issues.
What happens if we don't win the appeal?
On contingency cases, you owe no attorney fees if we don't achieve tax savings. Your assessment remains at the current level.
Do you handle appeals outside Madison County?
Yes, we handle property tax appeals throughout central Mississippi and statewide for significant commercial properties.
