How They Can Help

Our property tax consulting services encompass the full spectrum of assessment challenges and tax reduction strategies. We begin with thorough property evaluation reviews, analyzing your current assessment against comparable properties and market conditions. Our assessment appeal process includes filing formal protests with county assessors, preparing detailed valuation reports, and representing clients at hearings. We handle both residential and commercial property appeals, from single-family homes to complex multi-use developments. Beyond appeals, we provide ongoing tax planning services to help property owners minimize future tax burdens. This includes advising on property improvements, ownership structures, and timing of sales or purchases. We also assist with agricultural exemptions, senior citizen deferrals, and disabled veteran exemptions where applicable. Our commercial services extend to helping businesses understand how property classifications affect their tax obligations and identifying opportunities for reclassification or special use designations.

What to Expect

Our proven four-step process begins with a comprehensive property assessment review, where we analyze your current valuation against market data and comparable properties. We identify potential grounds for appeal and provide you with a detailed analysis of your chances for success. If we proceed, step two involves preparing and filing your formal appeal with the appropriate county board. Step three includes gathering supporting evidence, such as professional appraisals, market analysis, and property condition reports. We prepare compelling presentations that clearly demonstrate why your assessment should be reduced. Finally, we represent you at all hearings, presenting your case professionally and negotiating with assessors when possible. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and explain each stage in clear, understandable terms.

Service Area

We serve property owners throughout Broomfield County and the greater Denver metropolitan area, including Westminster, Thornton, Louisville, Lafayette, and Superior. Our practice extends to Boulder County properties and select cases in Jefferson and Adams counties. We're familiar with the specific procedures and personnel at each county assessor's office, which helps us navigate the appeal process more effectively for our clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property assessment is too high?
Signs include assessments significantly higher than recent sale prices of similar properties, increases much larger than neighborhood averages, or assessments that don't reflect property condition or market downturns. We can provide a free initial assessment to evaluate your appeal potential.
What's the deadline for filing a property tax appeal in Colorado?
Appeals must generally be filed by June 8th following the year of assessment, though specific deadlines can vary by county. It's crucial to act quickly as these deadlines are strictly enforced.
How much can I expect to save if my appeal is successful?
Successful appeals typically result in 10-30% reductions in assessed value, translating to similar percentage savings in annual property taxes. The exact savings depend on your property type, current assessment, and local tax rates.
Do I need a professional appraisal for my appeal?
While not always required, professional appraisals can strengthen your case significantly, especially for higher-value properties. We'll advise whether an appraisal would be cost-effective for your specific situation.
What happens if I lose my appeal?
If the initial appeal is unsuccessful, you may have options to appeal to the state Board of Assessment Appeals. We'll evaluate whether further appeals make sense based on the strength of your case and potential savings.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can file appeals annually if you believe your assessment is incorrect. However, we recommend strategic timing based on market conditions and assessment changes to maximize your chances of success.
How long does the appeal process take?
Most appeals are resolved within 4-8 months, depending on the complexity of the case and county processing times. We'll provide regular updates throughout the process.
What if I can't afford the upfront costs of an appeal?
We offer contingency fee arrangements for most residential appeals, meaning you pay nothing upfront and only pay if we achieve savings for you. This makes professional representation accessible to all property owners.
