Property Tax Assessments. Our law firm has represented a number of clients in disputing their property tax assessments. With the volatile real estate market these days, property tax assessments can vary a great deal over a short period. Not all adjustments to real property valuations can be supported by comparable real estate values.
Disputes involving the classification of real property are increasing as a result of higher property tax assessments. Our firm has experience both representing clients and mediating disputes involving changes in the classification of real property for tax assessment purposes.
Conservation Easements. Peter Bogardus served for four years as a board member of the Crested Butte Land Trust.

Also, because Peter Bogardus received a Master of Science degree that emphasized Natural Resource Management and Resource Dispute Resolution, he has a command of the issues that affect his clients that are considering placing some of their real property into a conservation easement.
