Guidelines to Choose a Property Tax Consultant
2
When you consider to invest in the real estate
market, especially in the commercial property,
then there are many aspects to look after.
3
One such factor is taking the help of a property
tax consultant and the right selection can help
you with your burdensome tax appraisal as well as
the county tax assessment.
4
A property tax consultant will help to do the
job faster and will also make it easier for you
as they know every detail of the appeal process.
5
This includes which documents to file, what
facts to compile to make a strong case and how,
in the end, to get an accurate value of your
property that will definitely save you money.
6
Here are some guidelines that will help you to
choose a property tax consultant who will
advocate for your case in the best possible way.
7
Evaluate your own situation
8
Before you are able to actually search for or
hire a property tax consultant, it is important
to evaluate the situation you are in.
9
If you are challenging your property tax
assessment, you will need to gather all paperwork
and organize the documents.
10
It is essential that you have all paperwork to
provide consultants as those will help them
determine in the proceedings and they can assist
you.
11
Also, having documents ready to hand over may
help to lower cost as spending more time
searching for paperwork always result in loss of
time and revenue.
12
Experience of the consultant
13
In the search for the most qualified property
tax consultant to handle your property tax
issues, the first criterion is the experience in
actual commercial property appraising.
14
Most think of property taxes as local taxes but
assets such as hotels and offices are unique and
have much different valuation issues that need to
be handled.
15
In the case of hotels, locality experience is
not as valuable as asset experience and
therefore, the best option would be to find a
consultant who can handle both the cases with
ease.
16
The consultant must have direct knowledge of the
appraisal property tax process and the weak
points that may affect your taxes.
17
Revenue involved in the case
18
One of the main factor to look for in hiring a
consultant is the cost of the services or fees
that you have to bear at the end of the case.
19
The consultant must have a proven track record
of reducing taxes in cases and willing to provide
their client list, who you can contact for a
referral.
20
An expert consultant must be able to give a
realistic estimation of the amount of money that
can be saved on your property taxes.
21
A good tax professional will work on a legit fee
and you should be able to develop an engagement
that will fairly compensate and motivate the
consultant to work hard for the benefit to both
parties.
