How They Can Help

Our primary service is comprehensive property tax appeals for both residential and commercial properties. We handle everything from initial assessment reviews to formal hearings before parish assessment boards. For residential clients, we analyze your property's assessed value against comparable sales and challenge inflated assessments that don't reflect true market value. Commercial property owners benefit from our detailed income and expense analysis, depreciation studies, and market comparison reports. We also provide ongoing assessment monitoring services, alerting clients to significant valuation changes and proactively filing appeals when warranted. Our valuation analysis includes physical property inspections, market research, and preparation of detailed reports that support our reduction requests. Additionally, we offer consultation services for property owners considering improvements or renovations, helping them understand potential tax implications before making investments.

What to Expect

Your experience begins with a free property assessment review where we analyze your current valuation against market data and comparable properties. If we identify potential for reduction, we'll provide a detailed analysis showing expected savings and our recommended strategy. Once you engage our services, we handle all paperwork, deadlines, and communications with the assessor's office. We gather supporting documentation including recent sales data, property condition reports, and income statements for commercial properties. Our team prepares and files formal appeals, represents you at hearings, and negotiates directly with assessment officials. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and handle all follow-up requirements to ensure your new assessment is properly implemented.

Service Area

We serve all parishes in the greater Baton Rouge metropolitan area, including East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Livingston, and Ascension parishes. Our local knowledge extends to understanding each parish's specific assessment practices, hearing procedures, and assessor personalities. This regional focus allows us to provide more effective representation than firms that spread themselves across multiple states. We're familiar with local market conditions, recent sales trends, and assessment patterns that directly impact our appeal strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. Increases exceeding 10% annually or assessments significantly above market value often indicate over-assessment.
What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals in Louisiana?
Most parishes require appeals within 60 days of receiving your assessment notice. Missing this deadline typically means waiting until the following year.
Will appealing my assessment trigger an audit or increase scrutiny?
No, filing an appeal is your legal right and won't result in retaliation. Assessors are required to consider appeals objectively based on the evidence presented.
How much can I expect to save if my appeal is successful?
Savings vary by property but successful appeals average 15-35% reductions. A $300,000 home might see annual savings of $500-1,500 depending on the reduction achieved.
Do you handle appeals for investment properties and rentals?
Yes, we specialize in both residential and commercial investment properties. Income-producing properties often have more complex valuation issues that benefit from professional representation.
What happens if we lose the appeal?
With our contingency structure, you owe nothing if we're unsuccessful. You can also pursue additional appeals in future years if circumstances change.
Can you help with properties outside East Baton Rouge Parish?
We handle appeals in East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Livingston, and Ascension parishes. Each parish has slightly different procedures we're familiar with.
How long do assessment reductions last?
Reductions remain in effect until the assessor conducts a new appraisal or you make significant improvements. Most parishes reassess every 4-6 years for residential properties.
