About TaxCuts1

Mike Hagen founded TaxCuts1, Inc. in 2003 after a decade as attorney and  key administrator for the Lee County Property Appraiser.  Hagen's property tax experience is packaged with 37 years as a real estate broker & 41 years as a Lic. Fla. Attorney. TaxCuts1 utilizes Hagen's sizeable knowledge gained by litigating 150+ property tax lawsuits and over 1000 administrative appeals, putting it to work for SW Florida's property owners. Most property tax reps are headquartered in Tampa or Miami and do not focus on the SW Florida area.
