Services
Everything required to get a property assessed fairly and keep it that way, handled by people who do this every day.
Real Estate Appraisal Review & Appeals
We start by gathering data from you and from the taxing authority, then audit the property record card for errors in size, age, grade, condition, and classification. From there we develop a value using the cost, market, and income approaches and compare your assessment to similar properties in the jurisdiction.
- Informal review and negotiation with the county assessor
- Written protests to the county board of equalization or appraisal review board
- Hearing attendance and expert testimony
- Coordination with legal counsel for state board, tax commission, and court appeals
Business Personal Property Renditions
Personal property is where many owners overpay without knowing it, because assets are reported at cost and depreciated on the assessor's schedule rather than valued correctly.
- Preparation, signing, and timely filing of renditions and returns
- Asset classification and taxable value determination under each state's law
- Identification of exempt, obsolete, ghost, and double-reported assets
- Audit of county records and defense of audits when they occur
