Property Tax Appeals

Residential, commercial, industrial and multi-family, across the Greater New Orleans area.

The Work

What We Actually Do

We review your property’s assessment and its property record card, identify errors and openings to reduce the assessed value, and take that argument to the taxing authority. In Orleans Parish alone, more than 165,000 parcels are valued every year through a mass appraisal process, and that process produces errors.

01

Assessment Review

Your assessment read against the property record card. Square footage, conversions, condition and damage are where the mistakes usually live.

02

Evidence And Reports

Market transactions and current listings pulled from paid data sources, plus any reports or photographs you can supply, assembled into a case.

03

Filing

The initial appeal application prepared and filed inside the open roll window, by portal, in person or postmarked before the last day.

04

Hearing Representation

We attend the hearing for you. By then the evidence is filed, so the hearing is short and mostly addresses stipulations and confusion.

05

Results And Refunds

Results come from the assessor or the Board of Review. In some cases a refund of previously paid taxes is possible.

06

Taking Over A DIY Appeal

If you already filed on your own and it is not going well, we can step in and take over representation.

Property Types

Who We Represent

Honest Limits

What We Will Not Tell You

There are no guaranteed results. Every case is handled individually, which is exactly why the fee is contingent instead of flat: the more you save, the larger the invoice, so both sides want the same number. If the consultation shows no appeal is warranted, you will hear that, and we can circle back next year.
