How They Can Help

The firm offers comprehensive property tax appeal services, starting with detailed assessment reviews to identify potential savings opportunities. They handle all aspects of residential tax protests, from initial filing through formal hearings before local boards of equalization. For commercial properties, they provide sophisticated valuation analysis using income, cost, and market approaches to challenge excessive assessments. Their tax reduction consulting includes ongoing monitoring of property values and tax rates to ensure clients aren't overpaying year after year. They also offer pre-appeal consultations to evaluate the strength of potential cases before committing to formal proceedings. The team handles all paperwork, deadlines, and communication with tax authorities, allowing property owners to focus on their daily responsibilities while professionals manage their tax challenges.

What to Expect

The process begins with a comprehensive property assessment review where they analyze your current tax bill, recent sales data, and property characteristics. During this initial consultation, they'll explain your appeal rights and provide an honest evaluation of potential savings. If you decide to proceed, they'll file all necessary paperwork within Missouri's strict deadlines and gather supporting evidence including comparable sales, appraisals, and market data. They'll represent you at informal hearings and formal board proceedings if needed. Throughout the process, they keep you informed of progress and handle all communication with tax authorities until your case reaches resolution.

Service Area

The practice serves the greater Kansas City metropolitan area, including Jackson, Clay, Platte, and Cass counties in Missouri, plus Johnson and Wyandotte counties in Kansas. They handle appeals in all local jurisdictions and are familiar with the specific procedures and personalities involved in each county's assessment process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. If your assessment is significantly higher than what comparable properties have sold for, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Missouri?
You typically have 30 days from the date you receive your assessment notice to file an appeal. Missing this deadline usually means waiting until the next assessment cycle.
Do you guarantee results?
While no consultant can guarantee specific outcomes, our contingency fee structure means we only get paid when we achieve tax reductions for our clients.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals are resolved within 3-6 months, though complex commercial cases may take longer. We'll keep you updated throughout the process.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you have the right to appeal annually if you believe your assessment is incorrect. However, successful appeals typically require new evidence or changed circumstances.
What evidence do I need for an appeal?
Common evidence includes recent appraisals, comparable sales data, photos of property conditions, and documentation of any factors that might reduce value.
Will appealing increase my taxes?
No, Missouri law prohibits increasing your assessment during the appeal process. The worst outcome is that your current assessment remains unchanged.
Do you handle appeals in Kansas as well as Missouri?
Yes, we're licensed to handle property tax matters in both Missouri and Kansas, covering the entire Kansas City metropolitan area.
