Property Tax

Experienced Property Tax Lawyers in Denver, Colorado, and Surrounding States

In Colorado, your commercial property tax is calculated based on a straightforward formula: (Market Value of Property) x (Assessment Rate) x (Mill Levy). While the formula is simple, the application of the formula to real life situations can quickly become complicated and the outcomes are often vigorously contested.

At Downey & Associates, PC we represent individuals and businesses in property tax cases in Denver and throughout the entire state of Colorado including mountain and rural counties. We have also handled property tax appeals for clients in surrounding states and across the nation. The most frequent complaint we hear is that a county assessor has overvalued a property, leading to an excessive property tax liability. With more than 25 years of experience in this practice area, we can assist you with a property tax appeal or other property tax matters.

If you have a property tax issue, speak with an attorney who has decades of experience and a stellar reputation with local assessors, appraisers and public officials in and around Denver and the greater Colorado area. Contact us for an appointment.

Advising You on All Property Tax Matters

Our firm helps commercial property owners, developers, and investors receive fair treatment in matters related to property tax assessments and valuations. We also help clients proactively manage property tax costs by advising them prior to major business transactions including the sale or purchase of property.

We advise clients who:

• Feel their property has been overvalued by an assessor or appraiser
• Believe that their property has been inappropriately classified, for example, as commercial when it should be residential
• Think they should qualify for charitable, religious, agricultural or other exemptions
• Want representation in tax abatement negotiations
• Have overdue taxes on a property
• Are considering the sale or purchase of property and want to understand all of the possible property tax implications
