Commercial Property Tax Appeal Services

Real Property Valuations

You have a right to appeal your property taxes, whether you are the owner or the lessee. More than 65% of all U.S. commercial real estate is over-assessed. Many factors affect property taxes, including new legislation, zoning changes, the age of the property, and the value of surrounding properties. Taxing authorities take a “one size fits all” approach to determining the property value, so you are not guaranteed an accurate assessment of your property’s value.

Many of our clients operate under NNN leases that require the lessee to pay property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Some counties reassess the value of the property annually while others only reassess every 3-5 years. In this case, the tax savings you receive from a successful property tax appeal could stay fixed for up to five years. The annual window to file an appeal on the property assessment is often only 30 days from the date of the notice, though it varies by state and county, time is always of the essence when appealing your property tax assessment.
