REAL ESTATE TAX ASSESSMENT

The goal of Thompson Coburn’s Real Estate Tax Assessment (RETA) practice is to help every client obtain the lowest possible real estate tax liability allowed by law. Although taxes are certain, the extent of your tax liability may depend on the actions you take.

We represent clients in valuation appeals challenging their property’s market value throughout Illinois and Missouri. Our services include evidence compilation and negotiations with assessment officials at the county and state level (e.g., the Property Tax Appeal Board in Illinois and State Tax Commission in Missouri) and/or applicable County Circuit Courts. The practice group also offers experienced counsel on the real estate tax consequences in complex purchase and leasing transactions.

We handle all types of properties, including commercial office buildings, retail properties, hotels, hospitals, restaurants, industrial properties, leasehold interests, apartment buildings, condominium complexes, properties undergoing conversion from apartments to condominiums, vacant land and ongoing construction projects.
