Sherman & Howard

Sherman & Howard brings decades of experience to property tax consulting in Reno and throughout Nevada. Our team combines legal expertise with deep knowledge of local assessment practices to help property owners reduce their tax burden. We've successfully challenged thousands of property assessments, securing millions in tax savings for our clients. Whether you own a single-family home or manage commercial properties, we understand the complexities of Nevada's property tax system. Our consultants work closely with each client to analyze their specific situation and develop targeted strategies for maximum tax reduction. We pride ourselves on transparent communication and delivering results that make a real difference to your bottom line.

We provide comprehensive property tax assessment reviews for both residential and commercial properties throughout Nevada. Our residential services include detailed market analysis, comparable property research, and formal protest filing with county assessors. For homeowners, we examine assessment accuracy, identify valuation errors, and present compelling evidence for tax reductions. Our commercial property tax services cover office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, and multi-family properties. We conduct thorough income and expense analyses, evaluate highest and best use determinations, and challenge excessive valuations. Our team also handles ongoing assessment monitoring to catch increases early and maintain optimal tax positions. Additional services include property tax planning for new acquisitions, exemption applications for qualifying properties, and consultation on assessment appeals timing. We work with property managers, real estate investors, and individual owners to develop long-term tax reduction strategies that align with their investment goals.

Our process begins with a comprehensive property assessment review where we analyze your current tax bill, recent assessment notices, and property characteristics. We gather relevant market data and comparable sales to establish fair market value ranges for your property. Next, we prepare and file formal protests with the appropriate county assessor's office, presenting detailed evidence supporting reduced valuations. Our team handles all paperwork, deadlines, and communication with assessor staff throughout the process. If informal negotiations don't achieve satisfactory results, we represent clients before assessment appeal boards and provide expert testimony when needed. We keep you informed at each step and explain the likely outcomes and timelines for your specific case.

We serve property owners throughout Nevada, with primary focus on Reno, Sparks, Carson City, and surrounding Washoe County communities. Our team also handles cases in Clark County including Las Vegas and Henderson, as well as rural Nevada counties. We're familiar with assessment practices and appeal procedures across all Nevada jurisdictions, allowing us to provide effective representation regardless of property location within the state.
