Property Tax Appeals

What is Property Tax Appeals?

Property tax appeals are a vital process for homeowners and businesses seeking to challenge their property's assessed value and potentially reduce their tax burden. When you receive your annual property tax assessment, you may find that the valuation doesn't accurately reflect your property's true market value. This discrepancy can lead to unnecessarily high taxes. The appeals process allows you to present evidence supporting a lower valuation, such as recent sales of comparable properties, photographs documenting the condition of your property, or professional appraisals. At Ott Law Firm, we understand the complexities of property tax laws in Missouri and can guide you through each step of the appeals process. Our team is committed to helping you navigate this challenging terrain, potentially saving you significant money on your property taxes. If you believe your property has been overvalued, don't hesitate to contact us at 314-794-6900 for a consultation. We'll work diligently to ensure your property is fairly assessed and your rights are protected.
