Offering Property Tax Assessment Expertise for central and southern Illinois clients

Golan Christie Taglia—Springfield is led by James W. Chipman, who previously served as the executive director of the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board and regularly meets with commercial, industrial and residential property owners throughout the state to address their needs.

Residing in the area allows us to have an in-depth understanding of our community and those who live and do business in it. We believe we are well-positioned to help clients obtain relief, maximize savings and retain multi-year tax reductions.

Our services

• Tax Assessment Appeals — In counties throughout Illinois, we provide all legal
  services required to review and contest your property taxes at every level of the
  appeal process. (For properties outside Illinois, we have working relationships with
  law firms in other states.)
• Annual Assessment Review — Is your property being assessed fairly and uniformly
  each year? We’ll review your assessments on an annual basis to help prevent any
  surprises.
• Tax Incentives & Abatements — We help you determine if your property is eligible for
  tax incentives or abatements. If it is, we’ll take you through each step necessary to
  qualify for these significant tax benefits.
• Tax Impact Studies — To help you make informed decisions based on current and
  future tax liabilities, we’ll provide tax projections for your current holdings or
  properties you may consider acquiring.
• Tax Department Services — For those with an in-house tax department, we provide
  your personnel with expert assistance and training. We can also serve as your outside
  property tax department, ensuring that all tax notices and bills are reviewed and
  processed accurately and on time.

Because of our proximity to the Property Tax Appeal Board, Jim files most documents in
person and maintains strong professional relationships with those who work in property tax
law, including hearing officers, administrators and their staffs.
