White & Amundson

White & Amundson brings a unique perspective to property tax consulting through our diverse practice areas including real estate and personal injury law. This broad experience helps us understand property tax issues within the larger context of real estate transactions, development projects, and property damage situations. We've served San Diego clients for over two decades. Our integrated approach means we can help clients with property tax issues that arise during real estate purchases, inheritance situations, or following property damage from accidents or disasters. While some firms only handle straightforward appeals, we tackle complex situations where property tax intersects with other legal matters. Our team's varied expertise often reveals opportunities that single-focus firms miss.

Our property tax practice includes traditional assessment appeals backed by comprehensive market analysis and legal research. We handle complex situations where property tax issues intersect with real estate transactions, estate planning, or property damage claims. Our services include pre-purchase assessment analysis, post-disaster property tax adjustments, and appeals involving properties affected by legal disputes. We provide Proposition 13 transfer consultation, helping families understand base year value transfers and inheritance implications. For real estate developers and investors, we offer ongoing consultation on assessment impacts of improvements, subdivisions, and ownership restructuring. Our legal background allows us to handle appeals that involve constitutional challenges, procedural disputes, or cases requiring superior court review. We also assist with tax postponement and hardship deferral applications when appropriate.

Our process integrates property tax analysis with broader legal and real estate considerations. Initial consultations explore not just assessment accuracy but how property tax fits into your overall situation. We conduct comprehensive due diligence including title research, permit analysis, and market study to build robust cases. For complex matters, we coordinate with other professionals including appraisers, engineers, and accountants. We handle all appeal procedures while keeping clients informed of connections to their other legal or real estate matters. Our approach often identifies multiple strategies for tax reduction beyond simple market value appeals.

We serve all of San Diego County with particular strength in areas where complex real estate transactions are common. Our practice includes coastal communities, urban infill areas, historic districts, and developing regions throughout the county. We handle cases countywide but focus on situations requiring sophisticated legal analysis rather than routine residential appeals.
