Consider for a moment a taxing jurisdiction in which hundreds or even thousands of properties of all types are located within the boundaries of that taxing jurisdiction. Now imagine being part of an assessment staff charged not only with the task of establishing the value for each property within the confines of the given jurisdiction, but also insuring that the assessment on each given property is equitable in relation to the assessment of similar properties within the jurisdiction. Further imagine that the volume of properties which need to be evaluated on an annual basis significantly limits the amount of time that can be spent or the methodologies that can be employed in establishing a value for each of those properties. If the foregoing suggests to you an environment in which an over assessment could occur, then you will understand why our Ad Valorem Tax Services Group consistently experiences year over year growth.
The solitary purpose of our Ad Valorem Tax Services Group is to afford to our clients a cost effective, risk free means for achieving a fair and equitable assessment of their real property and, in those jurisdictions which tax personal property, their personal property.
Over the last three years alone, we have successfully appealed the property taxes for more than 200 clients. From those appeals, we were able to achieve real property tax reductions for our clients ranging from a few thousand dollars to more than a quarter of a million dollars.
Our tax representatives work in designated geographical markets. Through our affiliation with the National Property Tax Group, we are able to not only provide a coordinated approach to resolving assessment issues for those clients who conduct multi-state operations, but also provide geographic specific knowledge on the local industrial and commercial real estate market and local assessment practices.
