The McNeill Group

The McNeill Group has been helping Mount Pleasant and Charleston area property owners reduce their tax burden for over 20 years. Our team combines legal expertise with deep knowledge of local property markets to deliver results that make a real difference to your bottom line. We've successfully handled thousands of assessment appeals and saved clients millions in unnecessary property taxes. Our approach is built on thorough analysis and strategic thinking. We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach – every property is unique, and every assessment challenge requires careful evaluation of market conditions, property characteristics, and local assessment practices. Our success comes from understanding what works in this market and building compelling cases based on solid evidence and legal precedent.

We offer a full range of property tax consulting services for residential and commercial properties throughout the greater Charleston area. Our residential practice includes assessment appeals for primary residences, vacation homes, and rental properties. We handle everything from single-family homes to luxury waterfront estates, understanding the unique valuation challenges each property type presents. Our commercial property tax practice covers office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, multi-family properties, and specialized use buildings. We conduct detailed income and expense analyses, market studies, and replacement cost evaluations to build strong cases for assessment reductions. We also provide proactive tax planning services, helping clients understand assessment cycles, exemption opportunities, and long-term strategies for managing property tax exposure across multiple properties.

We start every engagement with a comprehensive property assessment and market analysis. During your initial consultation, we'll review your assessment history, examine comparable properties, and analyze market trends that might support your appeal. We provide an honest evaluation of your case's strength and potential outcomes. Once engaged, we handle all aspects of the appeal process, from initial filing to final resolution. We gather supporting documentation, prepare detailed valuation reports, and represent your interests in all communications with assessment officials. If formal hearings are required, we provide experienced representation and expert testimony. You'll receive regular updates throughout the process and clear communication about case developments.

We serve clients throughout Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties, with particular expertise in Mount Pleasant, Charleston, Summerville, and surrounding communities. Our deep understanding of local market conditions, assessment practices, and regulatory environment gives us strategic advantages when challenging property valuations. We understand the unique characteristics of different neighborhoods and property types across our service area.
