Real Estate Tax Appeals

The Law Office of Cathy Steele, P.C.
Experienced Missouri Real Estate Tax Appeals Attorney

If your commercial or residential property has been over-valued, resulting in high property taxes, an experienced real estate tax appeals attorney can help you appeal the property tax assessment – with the goal of realizing substantial tax savings.  At The Law Office of Cathy Steele, P.C., located in Clayton, Missouri, we are highly skilled in this legal niche, and have a record of success in helping clients reduce their property taxes. 

In the state of Missouri, a county tax assessor determines the fair market value (FMV) of property.  Commercial and residential property owners pay taxes based upon a percentage of their property’s fair market value.  These percentages vary depending on the type of property involved:

Commercial Property – 32%
Residential Property – 19%
Agricultural Property – 12%

Missouri attorney Cathy Steele has extensive experience with commercial and residential property tax issues, and frequently appears before County Boards of Equalization and the State Tax Commission of Missouri.
 
If you feel you have received an unfair property tax assessment, you have the right to file an official appeal with the Board of Equalization.  We will gather all necessary evidence, including sales data and appraisals, and present a solid case.  If your appeal is denied, you may then appeal to the State Tax Commission of Missouri.  With any property tax appeal, it is critical that you meet with a qualified tax appeal lawyer who knows first-hand how to effectively represent you before the Board and the Commission. 

We take most tax appeals cases on a contingency fee basis – you pay no attorney fees unless we win.*

Contact us today to discuss your property tax relief strategy. 

Evening and weekend appointments can be arranged.
