Tax Assessment and Appeal
Property taxes are a significant operating expense. With property tax being determined based on an assessed value it is imperative that the assessed value is a fair representation of its market value as of the assessment date.
Working with our clients we review their property or property portfolio to ensure assessed values are fair, and when we identify values that are too high, represent them in the appeal of the assessed value, to reduce assessed value and in turn taxes. Our clients recognize that a reduction in assessed value equates to a reduction in property tax, which results in lower operating costs, all things equal lower operating costs will result in a higher value to the property.
