The Back Tax Lawyers

The Back Tax Lawyers is a Chandler-based tax law firm focused on helping individuals and businesses resolve outstanding tax obligations, including delinquent property taxes that have grown into serious financial problems. They work with clients who've fallen behind on payments, received liens, or are facing potential tax sale of their property. The firm's focused approach means they're not generalists. They know the specific mechanisms available to Arizona taxpayers to get back on track. Their Chandler office serves a community that's grown rapidly over the past decade, bringing with it a wide range of property ownership situations. From long-time homeowners who hit a rough patch to investors juggling multiple properties with back taxes owed, the firm handles cases across the complexity spectrum. They're direct about what's possible and what isn't, which clients tend to appreciate when they're already stressed about their situation.

The Back Tax Lawyers focuses primarily on tax law, with a specific emphasis on resolving back tax situations. For property tax matters, they handle delinquent tax negotiation with county treasurers, assistance with payment plan agreements, and legal representation when a property is at risk of tax lien sale or foreclosure due to unpaid taxes. They also assist clients who've purchased tax lien certificates and need legal help enforcing their rights, or property owners who need to redeem a property that's been subject to a tax lien sale. In Arizona, the tax lien and redemption process has specific timelines and legal requirements that the firm navigates regularly. Beyond property tax, the firm handles IRS back taxes, Arizona Department of Revenue disputes, penalty abatement requests, offer in compromise submissions, and installment agreements. Many clients come in with property tax debt as one piece of a larger tax problem, and the firm can address both simultaneously. They also assist clients who need to bring unfiled tax returns current before they can resolve outstanding assessments or liens.

The Back Tax Lawyers starts with a consultation to understand the full scope of what's owed, to whom, and what deadlines are in play. For property tax back taxes, this means reviewing county treasurer records to understand the lien status, any accrued interest and penalties, and whether a third-party lien certificate has been issued. From there, they develop a resolution strategy. This might involve negotiating a formal payment plan with the county, challenging any procedural errors in how the lien was assessed or sold, or helping the client access funds to redeem the property before the redemption window closes. For clients whose back tax problems span both property and income tax, the firm coordinates the resolution so that payments and agreements are structured in a way that addresses the most urgent deadlines first. They're clear about timelines and honest when a client needs to move fast to preserve their options.

The Back Tax Lawyers is based in Chandler and primarily serves clients across Maricopa County, including Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Scottsdale, and Phoenix. They handle Arizona state tax matters statewide and can assist with IRS issues for Arizona residents regardless of county. Remote consultations are available for clients outside the immediate Chandler area.
