How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax consulting services cover every aspect of assessment review and appeal processes. We conduct thorough property valuations using current market data, comparable sales analysis, and detailed property condition assessments. Our team reviews assessment notices for accuracy and identifies potential grounds for appeal, including overvaluation, incorrect property classifications, or assessment methodology errors. We handle all paperwork and documentation required for formal appeals, represent clients before county assessor offices and boards of equalization, and provide ongoing monitoring of assessment changes. Additionally, we offer proactive assessment reviews before tax bills are finalized, helping property owners identify issues early in the process. Our services extend to both residential and commercial properties, with specialized expertise in complex commercial valuations, multi-family properties, and unique property types that often present valuation challenges.

What to Expect

Our property tax appeal process begins with a comprehensive review of your current assessment and recent tax notices. We analyze your property's characteristics, recent sales of comparable properties, and local market conditions to determine if your assessment is accurate. If we identify potential for reduction, we gather supporting documentation including property inspections, market studies, and comparable sales data. We then prepare and file all necessary appeal paperwork within required deadlines, ensuring compliance with local procedures. Throughout the appeal process, we maintain regular communication with clients and provide updates on case progress until resolution is achieved.

Service Area

We serve property owners throughout the Denver metropolitan area, including Centennial, Littleton, Englewood, and surrounding Arapahoe County communities. Our local expertise extends to Douglas County, Jefferson County, and Adams County, where we maintain strong relationships with assessor offices and understand regional assessment practices and market conditions that impact property valuations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property assessment is too high?
Signs include assessments significantly higher than recent sale prices, assessments that increased dramatically without property improvements, or assessments higher than similar properties in your area. We can provide a free initial assessment review.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Colorado?
You typically have 30 days from the date you receive your Notice of Valuation to file an appeal with the county assessor. Missing this deadline can prevent you from appealing until the next assessment cycle.
Do you charge upfront fees for property tax appeals?
Most of our appeals are handled on contingency, meaning no upfront fees. You only pay if we successfully reduce your assessment, and our fee is a percentage of your tax savings.
How long does the appeal process typically take?
Most appeals are resolved within 3-6 months, though complex commercial cases may take longer. We keep clients informed of progress throughout the process.
What information do you need to evaluate my case?
We need your current assessment notice, recent property tax bills, property deeds, and any documentation of property conditions or recent improvements. We can work with whatever information you have available.
Can I appeal if I just bought my property?
Yes, you can appeal even as a new owner. In fact, if you paid significantly less than the assessed value, this can be strong evidence for an appeal.
What happens if my appeal is unsuccessful?
If the initial appeal is denied, you may have additional appeal rights to the county board of equalization or state board of assessment appeals. We'll advise you of all available options.
Do you handle appeals for rental properties and commercial buildings?
Yes, we specialize in both residential and commercial property appeals. Commercial properties often require more complex valuation analysis, which is one of our areas of expertise.
