Columbus Property Tax Attorneys
Columbus property tax attorneys at Sleggs, Danzinger & Gill represent owners of commercial and industrial properties throughout Columbus and Central Ohio.

Serving Columbus Commercial Property Tax Districts
Columbus is a multi-center commercial market with significant valuation activity across retail, office, and institutional corridors. Our attorneys represent property owners throughout the region’s primary business districts and development hubs.
Downtown Columbus
Downtown Columbus includes office towers, government-adjacent properties, and mixed-use developments concentrated around the Statehouse and riverfront. Valuations in this area often reflect aggressive income assumptions and redevelopment projections.
Short North & Arena District
The Short North and Arena District feature high-value mixed-use properties, retail corridors, entertainment venues, and office-over-retail buildings. These assets frequently face overassessment driven by per-square-foot retail benchmarks.
Easton & Northeast Retail Corridor
The Easton area is one of the Midwest’s premier lifestyle retail and mixed-use districts, with significant retail, hospitality, and corporate office space. Property taxes here are often influenced by peak sales and occupancy assumptions.
Polaris & North Suburban Office Corridor
The Polaris corridor includes large suburban office parks, retail centers, and corporate campuses. Assessments in this area commonly lag market conditions and tenant demand shifts.
University District & Institutional Corridor
Areas surrounding The Ohio State University and Wexner Medical Center include healthcare campuses, research facilities, student housing, and institutional properties requiring specialized valuation and exemption analysis.
Rickenbacker & Southeast Industrial Corridor
The Rickenbacker region is a major logistics and distribution hub serving Central Ohio, with warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and intermodal infrastructure where cost-based valuations are frequently overstated.
Our attorneys represent Columbus and Central Ohio property owners before the Franklin County Board of Revision and Ohio courts, with deep knowledge of local assessment practices and valuation standards.
