How They Can Help

The firm handles a broad range of property tax services alongside its IRS practice. On the property side, they review residential and commercial assessments, file formal appeals with the Arizona Board of Equalization, and represent clients in hearings before the Pima County Assessor's office. They also work with income-producing properties where the income approach to valuation can result in dramatically different tax bills. For IRS-related matters, they handle audit defense, back tax resolution, offer in compromise filings, and penalty abatement requests. Some clients come in with both a property tax dispute and an unresolved federal tax issue, and the firm can address those together. They also advise on like-kind exchanges and the tax implications of buying or selling real estate. The combination of legal and tax expertise means clients aren't bouncing between two different offices trying to piece together advice. They serve individuals, small business owners, and commercial property investors throughout southern Arizona.

What to Expect

The process starts with a free initial consultation where they review your current assessment notice and gather basic property information. From there, they order a comparable sales analysis and, when needed, bring in an independent appraiser to support a lower valuation. If the numbers support an appeal, they file the formal petition with the county and prepare your case for the hearing. Arizona has strict deadlines for property tax appeals, so they move quickly after that first review. Most residential cases are resolved through negotiation before a formal hearing. Commercial cases often take longer and may involve multiple rounds of documentation. Throughout the process, they keep clients updated on where things stand and what to expect at each stage. There are no surprises about timelines or outcomes.

Service Area

The Arnold IRS Tax Lawyers primarily serve clients in Tucson and across Pima County, including Marana, Oro Valley, Sahuarita, and Green Valley. They also handle cases in Cochise and Santa Cruz counties. For IRS-related matters, they work with clients throughout Arizona and can assist out-of-state property owners with Arizona-situated real estate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my Tucson property is over-assessed?
Compare your assessed value to recent sales of similar homes in your neighborhood. If your assessed value is higher than what comparable properties actually sold for, you may have grounds for an appeal. The firm offers a free initial review to help you figure this out.
What's the deadline to appeal my property assessment in Arizona?
You have 60 days from the date on your Notice of Value to file an appeal with the Pima County Assessor. Missing this window means waiting until the next assessment cycle, so it's worth acting quickly if you think your value is off.
Do I need an attorney to appeal my property taxes in Arizona?
You don't legally need one, but having an attorney helps significantly for commercial properties or cases that go beyond the initial review level. For complex disputes or formal hearings, professional representation usually improves outcomes.
What happens if I lose my appeal?
If the county assessor doesn't reduce your assessment, you can appeal to the Arizona State Board of Equalization and, if necessary, to the Arizona Tax Court. The firm can represent you at each level.
Can the Arnold firm help with both my property taxes and an IRS issue?
Yes, that's one of their strengths. They handle property tax appeals and IRS matters and can coordinate both if you have overlapping issues, which is common for business owners and investors.
How much could I realistically save on my property taxes?
It varies by property type and how far off the assessment is. Residential savings often range from a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars annually. Commercial properties can see reductions worth tens of thousands per year.
Is the initial consultation really free?
Yes, the first conversation is free. They'll review your assessment notice and give you an honest read on whether an appeal makes sense before you commit to anything.
Do they handle properties outside of Tucson?
They primarily serve Pima County but also take cases in Cochise and Santa Cruz counties. For IRS matters, they work with clients throughout Arizona and can help out-of-state owners with Arizona property issues.
