Fair Property Tax
While it is not at all uncommon for the Assessor to incorrectly value a property, years of experience has made me a believer in the Colorado valuation appeal process. Often, we are required to take our petitions through the second, or even the third level of appeals to get the desired result, but at the end of that process it has been highly unusual for us to not get a resolution that both we and our clients believed to be fair.

What are the reasons your should consider filing an appeal of your property's valuation?
How Is Your Property Assessed?
Assessors in Colorado arrive at their assessed values through a careful process using impressive mass appraisal software matched with equally impressive databases and competent appraisers. In our opinion, their valuations are correct far more often than they are wrong, but when they are wrong it can cost a property owner thousands of dollars year after year in excess taxes.
Why You Should File an Appeal?
Errors that have caused an incorrect valuation rarely, if ever, correct themselves. Thus incorrect tax assessments go on year after year. It is in the best interest of property owners to independently make certain their property's valuation is correct. In our experience, when the assessed valuation is wrong, it is often because a property has unique attributes or operating history that doesn't fit well into the assessor's mass appraisal system.
When is the Deadline to File?
Property owners may file their own initial appeal. However, depending upon the type of entity that holds title to the property later appeals may require representation by an attorney. It is important to realize that assessors arrive at their valuation through a careful process that employs trained appraisers with access to sophisticated analytics and a massive database. To attempt an appeal without possessing as good, if not better resources, is likely to severely lessen any chance of success.
