Wiesner & Frackowiak

Wiesner & Frackowiak has served Kansas City area property owners for over 25 years, specializing in property tax reduction strategies and assessment challenges. Our firm understands that property taxes significantly impact both residential homeowners and commercial property investors. We've successfully appealed thousands of property assessments, saving clients millions in cumulative tax reductions. Our approach combines thorough market research with strategic legal representation. We maintain extensive databases of local property sales and assessment patterns, allowing us to quickly identify overvaluations and inequities. Every case receives detailed analysis from our experienced team, ensuring we pursue only viable appeals with strong potential for meaningful tax savings. We believe in honest assessments and transparent communication throughout the entire process.

We provide complete property tax appeal services, from initial assessment reviews to formal hearings and court appeals. Our residential services include single-family homes, condominiums, townhomes, and small multi-family properties. We analyze comparable sales, property conditions, and neighborhood factors to build compelling cases for reduced assessments. For commercial properties, we offer specialized expertise in office buildings, retail centers, industrial properties, warehouses, and apartment complexes. Our commercial appeals often involve complex valuation approaches, including income capitalization methods and cost analysis. We work with certified appraisers when necessary to support our arguments. Additional services include homestead exemption applications, agricultural use valuations, and assessment inequality challenges. We also provide proactive monitoring services, reviewing annual assessments to identify potential appeals before deadlines expire. Our document preparation ensures all procedural requirements are met while presenting evidence in the most persuasive manner possible.

Our process begins with a complimentary assessment review where we examine your property tax statement and conduct preliminary research. If we identify appeal potential, we'll schedule a property inspection to document conditions and gather supporting evidence. We handle all paperwork preparation and filing, ensuring compliance with strict deadlines and procedural requirements. Our team prepares comprehensive evidence packages including market analyses, property photographs, and supporting documentation tailored to your specific case. We represent you at all hearings, presenting evidence professionally and answering assessor questions. Most cases resolve at informal hearings, but we're prepared for formal appeals and court proceedings when necessary. Throughout the process, we provide regular updates and explain each step clearly.

We serve the greater Kansas City metropolitan area, with primary focus on Johnson County communities including Overland Park, Olathe, Shawnee, Lenexa, Leawood, and Prairie Village. Our practice extends throughout Kansas, covering Wyandotte, Douglas, and Sedgwick counties. Our extensive local knowledge includes understanding county-specific assessment practices, hearing procedures, and assessor personnel. This familiarity provides strategic advantages in preparing cases and predicting likely outcomes for different jurisdictions.
