Udall Kristina

Udall Kristina brings over 15 years of specialized experience in property tax law to Seattle area property owners. Her practice focuses exclusively on property tax appeals and assessment challenges, helping both residential and commercial clients reduce their annual tax burden through strategic legal action. What sets Kristina apart is her detailed approach to property valuation analysis. She personally reviews each assessment, identifying discrepancies and market inconsistencies that often result in significant tax reductions. Her success rate of 78% in property tax appeals reflects her thorough preparation and deep understanding of Washington state tax law.

Kristina provides comprehensive property tax consulting services tailored to Washington state requirements. Her residential services include homestead exemption applications, assessment appeals for single-family homes, condominiums, and townhouses. She handles deadline management for all appeal filings and represents clients at county board hearings. For commercial properties, she specializes in complex valuation disputes involving office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, and multi-family developments. Her commercial expertise extends to income approach challenges, comparable sales analysis, and highest and best use arguments. She also provides preventive consulting, reviewing assessments annually to catch potential issues early. Additional services include tax exemption applications for qualifying properties, penalty abatement requests, and consultation on property improvements that might affect future assessments.

The consultation process begins with a free 30-minute assessment review where Kristina examines your property tax notice and recent assessment history. If she identifies potential savings, you'll receive a detailed analysis outlining the appeal strategy and estimated outcomes. Once engaged, she conducts thorough property research, including comparable sales analysis, market trend evaluation, and physical property inspection if needed. She prepares all necessary documentation, files appeals within statutory deadlines, and represents you at hearings. Throughout the process, you'll receive regular updates and clear explanations of each step. Most appeals resolve within 6-12 months.

Kristina serves all of King County, including Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, and surrounding communities. She's familiar with assessment practices across different King County districts and maintains relationships with local assessors' offices. Her practice extends to Pierce and Snohomish counties for complex commercial cases. She handles cases remotely when appropriate but maintains in-person representation for hearings and property inspections.
