Lane’s property tax consultant experts compile extensive data surrounding recent sales and market climates, and information regarding properties of similar size and use to your own. Further evaluation into your particular property — past valuation history, and income and cost analysis aimed at helping to determine your true earning potential — helps present a clear picture of your properties’ financial worth.
Lane ensures all documentation — including renditions, appeals, corrections and exemptions — is completed and filed by the strict deadlines set by state taxing entities.* We also manage communications with your county appraisal district (CAD) to ensure all parties are up to date regarding where your case stands and applicable next steps.
Your Lane team combines the aforementioned analysis with evidence such as photos, property surveys and rent rolls into an argument designed to sway taxing entities’ opinions in your favor. In many instances, long-held relationships with taxing professionals allow us to tailor a case to suit the preferences of the individual or office that will have the final say in your protest.
Lane saves you extensive time and stress by attending formal and informal hearings on your behalf. Our experts put years of firsthand experience to work to present a clear and concise argument backed by data. If unexpected questions or occurrences enter the mix, we’re ready to pivot and press on — because we’ve seen it all before.
If your formal and informal hearings fail to result in a mutually agreed-upon assessed value, your Lane team is prepared to continue your fight into arbitration or litigation proceedings. As with the earlier stages of your property tax protest, our experts compile data and continue building your case to present an argument on your behalf to the applicable arbitrator or decisionmaker. In the rare occurrence that litigation goes to trial, we represent you in court, as well.
