Challenge an Appraisal and Lower Your Property Taxes
If your business owes a significant amount of commercial property taxes, you could be paying more than you should due to an inaccurate appraisal. It is possible to challenge property appraisals through commercial property tax laws in Minnesota and Wisconsin, which may help your business save money by reducing your tax burden.
At the law firm of Eckberg, Lammers, Briggs, Wolff & Vierling, PLLP, our business lawyers have helped many businesses in the East Twin Cities Metro and Western Wisconsin reduce the amount of property taxes they owe. We take commercial property tax appeals cases on a contingency basis, meaning that you pay us only if your appeal is successful and/or your taxes are lowered or refunded. Get honest advice about whether or not you should file an appeal by talking with an attorney at an initial consultation. Contact us today or call us toll free at 651-967-7344 or 715-338-3742.
File a Petition with the District Court
As a law firm with more than 60 years of experience working with small and medium-sized businesses, we have in-depth knowledge of both Minnesota and Wisconsin's tax assessment regulations, and we know that property tax appraisals are sometimes incorrectly calculated. Most importantly, we know how to appeal improper assessments in administrative proceedings or in the local court system. While the business will still owe its taxes initially, if the petition is successful, the difference will be refunded.
There are several factors used when challenging a property tax appraisal that include the sales of similar commercial properties in the area, any foreclosures and bank sales in the neighborhood, and the condition of the property that is being appraised. Our firm can help you at any stage of the process.
