How They Can Help

The firm offers comprehensive property tax appeal services starting with free property assessments to determine potential savings. Their residential services include single-family home appeals, condominium assessments, and multi-family property reviews. For commercial clients, they handle office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, and investment real estate appeals. Their process includes detailed property valuation analysis using comparable sales data, income approaches, and cost methodology. They prepare and file all necessary appeal documents with county boards of equalization and represent clients at hearings. The team also provides ongoing assessment monitoring services, alerting clients to significant increases that warrant appeals. Additional services include property tax projections for real estate transactions, consultation on new construction assessments, and guidance on homestead and agricultural exemptions. They maintain relationships with local appraisers and assessors, which helps streamline the appeal process and improve success rates for their clients.

What to Expect

The consultation process begins with a free property assessment where they review your current tax bill and property details to estimate potential savings. If they identify opportunities for reduction, they'll explain the appeal timeline and fee structure before you commit to their services. Once engaged, they conduct thorough property research including comparable sales analysis, physical property inspection if needed, and review of assessment records. They prepare all appeal documentation and file with appropriate county authorities within required deadlines. Throughout the process, they keep you informed of progress and next steps. If your case proceeds to a hearing, they provide full representation before the county board. Most cases resolve without hearings, but when necessary, they present compelling evidence and arguments on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
Compare your assessment to recent sales of similar properties in your neighborhood. If your assessed value is significantly higher than comparable sales, you may have grounds for an appeal.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Kansas?
Generally, you have 30 days from receiving your assessment notice to file an appeal. Missing this deadline means waiting until the next assessment cycle.
How much can I expect to save if my appeal is successful?
Savings vary widely depending on the degree of overassessment. Typical successful appeals result in 10-30% reductions in assessed value, though some cases achieve larger savings.
Do I need an attorney for a property tax appeal?
While not legally required, professional representation significantly improves your chances of success. The appeal process involves complex valuation concepts and strict procedural requirements.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals resolve within 3-6 months. Cases requiring hearings may take longer, but many settle through negotiation before reaching the hearing stage.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can appeal annually if you believe your assessment is incorrect. However, successful appeals in previous years may make subsequent appeals more challenging unless circumstances change significantly.
What happens if my appeal is denied?
You can typically appeal to the next level, such as the state court of tax appeals. Your attorney will advise whether further appeals are worthwhile based on the strength of your case.
Will appealing my taxes trigger a reassessment of my entire neighborhood?
No, individual appeals don't trigger neighborhood-wide reassessments. Assessors may review comparable properties but won't automatically increase taxes on neighboring homes.
