We hesitated because we assumed that our taxed purchases were so minuscule that we wouldn’t find enough mistakenly taxed expenditures to justify the hassle. What we found was that there was NO hassle. We simply gave The Brennan Group a green light and they came back to notify us of refunds coming back from our suppliers. The service is very professional and absolutely worthwhile.

Personal Property Tax

How you’re using your manufacturing equipment and industry challenges at large can impact the value of your personal property. Our certified equipment appraisers can help you make sure that you’re reporting your personal property accurately and not overstating the value of those assets. We help you by doing a fixed asset inventory, making you aware of all the exemptions available, and ensuring that the county depreciation schedules accurately reflect the value of your assets. We work directly with local assessors to ensure your assets are classified correctly and determine the true value of those assets for property tax purposes.

Real Estate Tax

Most manufacturing facilities are specific-use properties, which have a high degree of obsolescence local assessors are not always aware of and factor in that obsolescence when assessing your property which has a big impact on your real estate taxes. In most cases, their value doesn’t match the true market value of your facility. By conducting a thorough property review and working through the appeal process, we educate the assessor and justify a reduced assessed valuation which will reduce your real estate tax liability.
