Reduce Commercial Property Tax Burden and Recover Overpayments
Many commercial properties are overvalued. Assessors use mass appraisal techniques that result in inaccurate generalized property valuations. That is why many companies overpay on commercial property taxes. We review your valuations to determine if an appeal is necessary and if so we negotiate on your behalf to ensure that your property assessment is fair and equitable. We study the specifics of your property and take into account all valuation approaches to determine if we can justify a reduction, accounting for obsolescence, deferred maintenance, market conditions, as well as the specific conditions of your property such as vacancy rates and operating costs to ensure you are being taxed at a fair rate.
Commercial Property Tax Issues We Solve
- Over-assessed property
- Failure to account for obsolescence and specific property conditions
- Inequitable assessments
- Misclassification of your property

Our Process: Reducing Tax Liability, Creating Value
We offer comprehensive property tax review and appeal services. Our approach is designed to ensure your property is fairly valued by the local assessor’s office and reduce your real estate taxes. We understand the complexities of the system and leverage our local and regional expertise to secure the best outcomes for our clients.
- Property Valuation Analysis: We meticulously review your property’s assessed value and compare it against local market data. Whether your property is commercial, residential, or agricultural, our goal is to identify discrepancies between the assessor’s valuation and the true fair market value.
- Filing Property Tax Appeals: If we find that your property has been overvalued, we handle the appeal process from start to finish. This includes gathering evidence, submitting appeals, and representing you at hearings with local assessors.
- Monitoring Assessments: States have different reassessment cycles and it is difficult to keep track of all the assessments and deadlines. We help companies manage these assessments and property tax deadlines to ensure that nothing is missed or forgotten. We step in to monitor your reassessments, perform comprehensive reviews, and meet any appeal deadline so that you and your tenants are not surprised with a higher tax bill.
- Negotiation with Assessors: We work directly with local assessors to ensure a fair outcome for your property. Our team has decades of experience in this niche market, which means we understand how to communicate effectively with assessors and present a compelling case for tax reductions. We also fight when we need to by continuing cases to the next level so our clients are treated fairly.
Success Story
Reducing tax liability and creating lasting value
One of our notable success stories comes from a client who owned an apartment complex in St. Louis, MO. After filing an appeal and negotiating with the local assessor, we were able to reduce the appraised value from $14.4 million down to $12.3 million, leading to substantial tax savings for our client. When we informed the client of our success he was elated. He then sold the property for $26.5 million. The savings we generated for this property increased the selling price by over $650,000.
