Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
We provide free initial consultations to review your assessment against recent comparable sales and market conditions. If your assessed value exceeds fair market value by a meaningful amount, you likely have grounds for appeal.
What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals in Colorado?
Appeals must generally be filed by June 8th for the current tax year. However, specific deadlines can vary by county, so it's important to act quickly after receiving your notice of valuation.
How much can I expect to save on my property taxes?
Savings vary based on individual circumstances, but successful appeals typically result in 10-30% reductions in assessed value. The actual tax savings depend on your local mill levy and the amount of reduction achieved.
Do you handle appeals for all types of properties?
Yes, we represent owners of residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural properties. Our team has experience with unique property types and complex valuation issues across all categories.
What happens if I lose my appeal?
If the initial appeal is unsuccessful, we can pursue additional remedies including state board of equalization appeals or district court litigation. We'll evaluate the merits of continued appeals based on the specific facts of your case.
Can I appeal my property taxes every year?
Yes, property owners have the right to appeal their assessment annually. However, we recommend appeals only when there's a reasonable basis for believing the assessment is excessive based on market evidence.
How long does the appeals process typically take?
Most county board hearings occur within 3-6 months of filing. The timeline can vary based on the county's schedule and whether additional appeals to higher authorities are necessary.
What documentation do I need to provide for my appeal?
We'll help you gather necessary documents including recent appraisals, surveys, financial statements for income properties, and evidence of property conditions or limitations. Our team handles most of the documentation process for you.
