How They Can Help

Our comprehensive property tax services cover every aspect of assessment challenges and tax reduction strategies. We handle formal appeals before county boards of equalization, representing clients through the entire appeals process from initial filing to final resolution. Our team conducts thorough property valuations using current market data, comparable sales analysis, and professional appraisal techniques to build strong cases for assessment reductions. We also provide ongoing assessment monitoring services, reviewing annual tax statements to identify potential overassessments before they become costly long-term burdens. For commercial properties, we offer specialized services including income approach valuations, depreciation analysis, and functional obsolescence assessments. Additionally, we assist with homestead exemption applications, agricultural use valuations, and tax exemption requests for qualifying properties. Our litigation support services include preparing documentation, coordinating with appraisers, and presenting cases at formal hearings when informal negotiations don't achieve desired results.

What to Expect

Our process begins with a free consultation where we review your property tax statement and discuss your concerns. We then conduct a preliminary assessment analysis to determine if you have grounds for an appeal. If we proceed, we'll perform a comprehensive property evaluation, including on-site inspection, market research, and comparable property analysis. Next, we prepare and file all necessary appeal documents with the appropriate county board of equalization. We handle all communication with tax authorities and represent you at hearings if required. Throughout the process, we keep you informed of progress and explain each step. Most cases are resolved within 3-6 months, depending on the county's schedule and case complexity. We work on a contingency basis for most appeals, so you don't pay unless we secure a reduction.

Service Area

We serve clients throughout central Arkansas, including Pulaski, Saline, Faulkner, and surrounding counties. Our primary service area covers Bryant, Benton, Little Rock, North Little Rock, Conway, and the greater Little Rock metropolitan area. We're familiar with local assessment practices and have established relationships with county officials throughout the region. While we focus on central Arkansas, we can assist with appeals in other Arkansas counties on a case-by-case basis.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is overassessed?
Signs include assessments significantly higher than recent purchase price, major increases without improvements, or assessments much higher than similar nearby properties. We can provide a free preliminary analysis to determine if you have grounds for appeal.
What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals in Arkansas?
Appeals must generally be filed by July 31st of the tax year, though some counties may have earlier deadlines. It's important to act quickly after receiving your assessment notice.
Do you guarantee tax reductions?
While we can't guarantee specific outcomes, we have a high success rate and only take cases where we believe there's a reasonable chance of reduction. We work on contingency for most appeals, so you don't pay unless we achieve results.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary widely based on the degree of overassessment and property type. Our clients typically see reductions of 10-30% in their assessments, translating to significant annual tax savings.
What documents do I need for a property tax appeal?
We'll need your current tax statement, recent appraisals if available, and information about your property's condition. We handle gathering most supporting documentation including comparable sales and market data.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, you can file appeals annually if you believe your assessment is incorrect. However, you need valid grounds each year, such as market changes, property condition changes, or assessment errors.
What happens if my appeal is denied?
If the county board denies your appeal, you may be able to appeal to circuit court. We'll evaluate whether further appeal is worthwhile based on the strength of your case and potential savings.
Do I need to attend the hearing?
While property owners are welcome to attend, it's not required when you have professional representation. We handle all hearing appearances and present your case to the board of equalization.
