Tax Protest Appraisal

The first step in the process is to have a Feasibility Tax Appraisal completed. The appraisal staff at Pack Appraisal Company will prepare a market analysis as a basis for determining the reasonableness of the "Current Year Actual Value" assigned by the Eagle County Assessors office. If you determine it is feasible to pursue an appeal, order a Tax Protest Appraisal!

A Tax Protest Appraisal will include a Summary Appraisal Report that utilizes the most accurate valuation methodologies available. This report will be filed with your appeal to the county assessor. Pack Appraisal Company will handle all of the details.

Scope & Report Development: The protest report will consist of a Summary Appraisal Report that is intended to comply with the reporting requirements set forth under Standards Rule 2(b) of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).

Due to time constraints, no inspection of the Property will occur in the development of this report. The Tax Protest Appraisal will be developed utilizing the Property Data on record with the Eagle County Assessors office. If the Client believes there may be errors in the Property Data, arrangements may be made to have the Assessor's office staffs personally inspect the property to determine if corrections are in order. Or, at the Owner's request, our appraisal staff may inspect the property.

How Much Can You Save?

Keep in mind that the 2007 Assessed Valuations are utilized in the calculation of your 2007 and 2008 Property Tax obligations. Any reduction in value achieved now will apply to your property taxes for 2 years. Therefore, the calculation of total tax savings should be considered over a two year period. Find out the estimated tax savings per $100,000 reduction in value at our Free Quote page.

ACT NOW!

If you determine that your property has been assigned an excessive value by the county assessor, you need to pursue a protest in order to reduce your tax obligation. Every reduction in your assessed value results in a decrease in your property tax. Remember that you must submit your tax protest to the Eagle County Assessors office by June 1, 2007.

What Are Your Chances of Success?

In past years, our clients have enjoyed great success in reducing their tax obligations. We have helped hundreds of taxpayers reduce their tax liability. During the 2003 and valuation years, 83% of our clients who submitted appeals achieved a reduction in their assessed valuations. The average tax savings achieved by these property owners was $4,500.

You can see that taking the time and expense to investigate and appeal the valuations assigned by the Eagle County Assessor can be quite profitable. As they say, a penny saved is a penny earned. Take the time to determine if your property is reasonably valued!

Fees

Our program is designed to offer a variety of payment options to provide the support that clients need in an equitable and cost-effective manner. Prices for a Feasibility Tax Appraisal start at $95 and increase with the value of the property. Properties with lower values are charged a smaller fee than those properties with higher values.
