How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services include assessment appeals, valuation challenges, and ongoing tax planning strategies. We handle appeals for all property types including residential homes, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and agricultural land. For residential clients, we review assessments for accuracy and market alignment, challenge overvaluations, and assist with homestead exemption applications. Our commercial services include income approach valuations, highest and best use analysis, and appeals for special-purpose properties. We also provide agricultural land valuations under Kentucky's agricultural use programs and handle assessment appeals for tax-exempt properties. Our process includes thorough property analysis, market research, formal appeal preparation, and representation at hearings before local boards and the Kentucky Board of Tax Appeals.

What to Expect

Our appeal process begins with a comprehensive property evaluation and market analysis to determine if your assessment exceeds fair market value. We review your property's characteristics, recent comparable sales, and local market conditions. Once we identify viable grounds for appeal, we prepare detailed documentation supporting your case and file the necessary paperwork with your county PVA office. We handle all correspondence and negotiations with tax officials throughout the process. If a hearing is required, we provide professional representation and present evidence supporting your position. We also assist with secondary appeals to the Kentucky Board of Tax Appeals when local appeals are unsuccessful but merit further review.

Our Lexington office location provides convenient access for clients across the Bluegrass region. Our coverage extends to rural counties where agricultural and specialized property issues require expertise in Kentucky's unique assessment procedures and agricultural use value programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Kentucky property assessments work?
Kentucky conducts annual property assessments through county Property Valuation Administrators who determine fair cash value based on market sales, cost, and income approaches. Assessments should reflect market value as of January 1st each year.
What evidence do I need for a successful property tax appeal?
Strong appeals typically include recent comparable sales, property condition documentation, and market analysis showing your assessment exceeds fair value. Professional appraisals and income/expense data for commercial properties also strengthen cases.
Can I appeal my property taxes if values in my area are rising?
Yes, rising market values don't automatically justify your specific assessment. If your property is assessed above its actual market value or has issues affecting its worth, you may still have grounds for a successful appeal.
What's the difference between assessed value and market value?
In Kentucky, assessed value should equal fair cash value (market value). However, assessment practices and timing can result in assessed values that don't accurately reflect current market conditions.
How often can I appeal my property assessment?
You can file an appeal every year if you have valid grounds. However, repeated unsuccessful appeals without changed circumstances may weaken future cases, so professional evaluation is recommended.
Do property tax appeals affect my ability to sell my property?
No, property tax appeals don't create any liens or restrictions on your property. Successful appeals actually make your property more attractive by reducing the ongoing tax burden for future owners.
What happens if the county raises my assessment after I appeal?
Kentucky law generally prohibits raising assessments during an appeal unless new information about the property comes to light. Your assessment shouldn't increase simply because you filed an appeal.
Can I handle a property tax appeal myself?
While you can represent yourself, professional representation significantly improves your chances of success. Tax appeal procedures are complex, and proper evidence presentation requires expertise in valuation and Kentucky tax law.
