Property Tax Appeals
Property tax assessments and special assessments are two ways the government can impose a tax on your land and property, whether it is residential, commercial, industrial or agricultural. The Larkin Hoffman Real Estate Litigation group can appeal your property tax assessment to the Minnesota Tax Court.
The three most common issues involving property tax appeals include: disputes over the estimated fair market value of the property; an improper property classification; and whether the property was assessed equally when compared with other similarly situated properties. Larkin Hoffman has the expertise to help in any of these situations.
We also help clients to appeal special assessments, which occur when local government imposes a fee on property owners for local improvement projects, such as street construction, utilities or other enhancements. Minnesota law prohibits the amount of the assessment to exceed the benefit accrued to the property as a result of the improvement. Anything above that may give rise to an appeal.
Whether it is a property tax assessment or a special assessment, we have the expertise to competently handle your appeal. Contact Larkin Hoffman to learn more about how we can help to create a positive outcome for your situation.
