The Wuhrman Law Firm

The Wuhrman Law Firm brings over two decades of experience to property tax appeals and assessment challenges in Lake Oswego and surrounding communities. We understand that property taxes often represent your largest annual expense after your mortgage, and incorrect assessments can cost thousands each year. Our approach combines legal expertise with deep knowledge of local assessment practices. We've successfully reduced property tax bills for hundreds of homeowners and business owners throughout Oregon. Whether you're facing an unexpectedly high assessment or believe your property's been overvalued, we provide practical solutions that deliver real savings.

We handle comprehensive property tax appeals from initial assessment review through formal hearings and court proceedings if necessary. Our residential services include home assessment challenges, new construction disputes, and property value corrections following market changes or property damage. For commercial clients, we manage complex appeals involving income approach valuations, comparable sales analysis, and specialized property types. Our assessment review process examines your property's physical characteristics, recent sales data, and market conditions to identify overvaluation issues. We also handle tax exemption applications for qualifying properties and provide ongoing consultation to prevent future assessment problems. When appeals require formal hearings, we represent clients before county boards and state tax courts, presenting compelling evidence and expert testimony to support reduced valuations.

Your case begins with a free consultation where we review your assessment notice and property details. We'll analyze recent comparable sales, inspect your property if needed, and determine the strength of your appeal. Once you decide to proceed, we file all necessary paperwork with the county and prepare your case documentation. We handle communication with assessors and represent you at hearings. Most cases resolve through negotiation, but we're prepared for formal proceedings when necessary. You'll receive regular updates throughout the process, and we only collect fees when we achieve tax reductions.

We serve Lake Oswego, Portland, Beaverton, Tigard, Milwaukie, and surrounding Clackamas, Washington, and Multnomah counties. Our local knowledge of assessment practices and property markets in these areas gives us significant advantages in building successful appeals for our clients.
