How They Can Help

Tax Solutions Inc provides assessment review and protest services for residential and commercial property owners in Colorado Springs. Their starting point is always a review of your current assessment notice against actual comparable market data. If the numbers suggest an overvaluation, they prepare a formal protest with supporting documentation and file it with the El Paso County Assessor's Office before the deadline. For homeowners, the process is relatively streamlined. The firm identifies the strongest comparable sales in your area, prepares the protest filing, and attends the hearing on your behalf. For commercial property owners, the firm applies accounting-based analysis to challenge income and cost approach valuations, which is where larger tax reductions are typically found. Tax Solutions Inc also helps clients identify exemptions they may qualify for but haven't applied for. Colorado's senior homestead exemption, for instance, offers meaningful savings for eligible homeowners who often don't know the application exists. The firm flags these opportunities as part of its standard review process. Additionally, the firm handles tax preparation and general accounting services, which means property tax work is often bundled with broader financial management for clients who want a single point of contact for their tax obligations. That integration can simplify planning and reduce the chance that property tax issues get overlooked in a busy year.

What to Expect

Tax Solutions Inc starts every engagement with a review of your most recent assessment notice and the property's basic details. That initial review is typically done at no charge and gives you a clear picture of whether an appeal makes sense before you commit to anything. If you decide to move forward, the firm prepares the protest documentation, pulls comparable sales data, and handles the filing within Colorado's mandatory protest window. The process is managed on your behalf so you're not trying to navigate the county's procedures on your own. At the hearing, a representative from Tax Solutions Inc presents the case and responds to questions from the assessor's office. After the hearing, the firm communicates the result and advises on whether further action is warranted. For clients whose protests don't produce adequate reductions, the firm can escalate to the Board of Assessment Appeals or refer cases requiring litigation to a qualified attorney.

Service Area

Tax Solutions Inc serves Colorado Springs and surrounding El Paso County communities including Fountain, Security-Widefield, Peyton, Black Forest, and Monument. They also serve clients in Pueblo County and can handle remote consultations for property owners who can't easily travel to their office. Most of the appeal process can be managed without in-person meetings, which makes geographic flexibility straightforward for most clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an assessment notice and what should I do when I receive one?
An assessment notice is the county's formal statement of your property's estimated value for tax purposes. When you receive one, compare the stated value against recent sales of comparable properties in your area. If the county's number seems significantly higher than what similar homes or buildings have sold for, contact a tax professional for a second opinion before the protest deadline passes.
How does Tax Solutions Inc determine whether my property was overvalued?
The firm reviews recent comparable sales near your property, looking at homes or buildings that are similar in size, condition, and location. For commercial properties, they also review the income and expense data the assessor used and compare it against your actual operating numbers. Gaps between the assessor's assumptions and market reality are the foundation of most successful protests.
Does the firm handle both accounting and property tax work?
Yes. Tax Solutions Inc provides accounting and tax preparation services in addition to property tax appeals, which is useful for business owners who want both services under one roof. That integration often speeds up commercial appeal work since financial data the firm already has can be applied directly to the appeal analysis.
What is El Paso County's process for handling property tax protests?
You file a formal protest with the county assessor's office within the 30-day protest window. The assessor then schedules a hearing where you or your representative presents evidence of overvaluation. The assessor issues a decision, and if the result is unsatisfactory, you can escalate to the Colorado Board of Assessment Appeals within 30 days of receiving the determination.
What happens if the county doesn't reduce my assessment at the hearing?
If the county hearing produces an unsatisfactory result, you have the option to escalate to the Board of Assessment Appeals. Tax Solutions Inc can assist with that step and, for cases that require litigation, can refer you to qualified legal counsel. Not every case warrants escalation, and the firm will give you an honest assessment of whether the potential reduction justifies the additional effort.
Are there property tax exemptions I might be missing?
Colorado offers a senior homestead exemption that reduces assessed value for qualifying homeowners over 65 who have lived in their property for at least 10 years. There's also a disabled veteran exemption and provisions for agricultural land. Many eligible property owners haven't applied because the programs aren't well publicized. The firm checks for these during its standard review process.
Can I appeal if my property value went up a lot this year?
A large increase is worth reviewing but doesn't automatically mean the assessment is wrong. The question is whether the county's valuation is supported by actual sales of comparable properties. The firm can quickly tell you whether the increase looks defensible or whether there's a solid case for a protest. If there is, acting before the deadline is essential.
How long does the appeal process take from start to finish?
For residential appeals, the process typically runs two to five months from filing to final county determination. Commercial appeals can take longer, especially if income analysis is involved or if the case escalates to the Board of Assessment Appeals. The firm gives you a realistic timeline at the outset so you know what to expect.
