Our Practice Areas
Real & Personal Property Valuation Disputes
Whether disputing the value of commercial real estate, machinery, equipment, or other taxable assets, experienced representation helps ensure that property owners are not overburdened by excessive tax liabilities and that their rights are fully protected throughout the process.
Pursuit of exemptions
The pursuit of tax exemptions requires a thorough understanding of eligibility criteria, application procedures, and supporting documentation. Whether seeking exemptions for nonprofit use, agricultural classification, economic development incentives, or other qualifying purposes, experienced representation is key to navigating this often complex process.
Special Use Valuations & Rollback Issues
Special Use Valuations provide significant tax relief for properties used for specific purposes—such as agriculture, conservation, or timber production—by allowing valuation based on current use rather than market value. Securing and maintaining these valuations requires detailed documentation, strict adherence to statutory requirements, and often, proactive defense against challenges by taxing authorities. If the use changes or the property no longer qualifies, rollback taxes may be imposed, recapturing the tax savings from previous years. Experienced representation is essential to guide property owners through the application process, ensure ongoing compliance, and protect the favorable tax treatment these valuations offer.
Litigation Valuation Contests
Litigation involving property valuation contests demands strategic legal and valuation expertise to effectively challenge or defend property tax assessments in court. These disputes often arise when formal appeals or administrative remedies fail, requiring litigation to resolve complex issues around property classification, market value, or appraisal methodology. Skilled representation is crucial to developing a strong evidentiary record, working with expert witnesses, and navigating procedural rules. With experienced counsel, property owners can protect their rights, present a compelling case, and seek fair and equitable tax outcomes through the judicial process.
Disputing delinquent taxes
Negotiating delinquent tax disputes is a critical process for property owners facing past-due Ad Valorem taxes, as unresolved delinquencies can lead to penalties, interest, liens, or even foreclosure. Skilled representation can help assess the validity of the underlying tax assessments, identify potential exemptions or abatements, and negotiate payment plans or settlements with taxing authorities. With a thorough understanding of local tax laws and procedures, experienced professionals can often reduce the financial burden and bring accounts back into good standing. Effective negotiation not only protects property rights but also provides a pathway to long-term financial stability.
