Property Tax Appeals

Since 2015, KSN has worked diligently to save our clients over $100 million in reduced property tax assessments.

Property taxes for many represent the largest expense in owning real estate. In recent years, tax bills have been rising at a seemingly exponential rate. However, unlike other costs intrinsic to owning property such as mortgage payments or utility bills, tax assessments can and should be appealed. Due process, in fact, mandates that your property tax assessment is appealable at both the administrative and judicial level.

KSN Tax offers skillful Association, residential, and commercial tax appeal representation at a reasonable cost.

Filing deadlines for property tax assessment appeals occur on a weekly basis and potentially without notice to certain taxpayers. Constant vigilance, therefore, is needed to timely appeal your assessment. Moreover, the Assessor, Board of Review, Property Tax Appeal Board and Circuit Court continually modify their rules for appealing (both substantive and procedural). Staying on top of these constant rule changes, adapting to them, and filing appeals on a timely basis is a full time job.

Let the Illinois property tax appeal attorneys at KSN Tax do the work for you.

KSN Tax can help by doing the following:

• Review your property tax assessment and Assessor records
• Track deadlines to ensure assessments are timely appealed
• Annually monitor your assessment and take appropriate action to revise erroneous Assessor changes
• File an assessment complaint with supporting documentation to the Assessor’s Office, Board of Review, Property Tax Appeal Board & Circuit Court to correct an unwarranted assessment and obtain refunds for the taxpayer, if available
• Investigate comparable market data to establish your assessment’s underlying fair market value is excessive
• Consult with a licensed appraiser, and with client approval, obtain an appraisal report establishing an assessment is unjustified
• Examine rent rolls, income and expense statements, and vacancy levels for income producing properties to ascertain their actual value in relation to the Assessors’ opinion of value
• Provide tax planning advice so that you can predict your future property tax liability and strategize accordingly

We work on a contingency fee basis.

You pay no legal fees unless an assessment reduction is achieved. Additionally, we can offer competitive fee rates so you save even more money by choosing KSN Tax instead of our competitors.
