Understanding and complying with property tax requirements and recognizing areas for potential savings is vital, but can be cumbersome. You may need property tax advice if you answer yes to any of these questions:
- Is your property tax compliance a manual process, requiring significant resources and time?
- Do you file a large number of returns across numerous tax jurisdictions?
- Are you contemplating an acquisition?
- Are you appealing or considering appealing an assessment with the board or local assessor?
- Are you being audited?
- Does your asset base have unique characteristics including potential intangible value that may be carved out for property tax purposes?
- Has it been several years since the last review of your assessed values?
- Does your fixed asset listing contain lump-sum entries or old assets that may have been disposed but are still included in your property tax base?
