Why Commercial Property Tax Associates? It’s about the numbers. In this volatile commercial real estate market, it’s all about the numbers.
Commercial property owners and managers will tell you the number one controllable expense on their income statement is property taxes. Whether paid by commercial property owners or their tenants the California property tax is an expense that, if properly managed will add immediate profit to the bottom line. But how can commercial property owners manage a value that is not under their control? Commercial Property Tax Associates (CPTA) can take control of it for you.
CPTA will:
- Appraise your property
- File appeals, both informal and formal
- Communicate with the County Assessors office
- Work to reduce the County’s wait time (legally 2 years to hear appeals) using our extensive appraiser contacts within the Assessors office
- Prepare the case to present to the County Assessment Appeals Board
- Represent you by appearing before the County Assessment Appeals Board and presenting the formal case
- Ensure your refunds are processed as quickly as possible
- Review property values annually to ensure appropriate challenges are made when value are adjusted
At CPTA we accept our Client’s portfolios with no obligation and never charge an up-front fee. Our Consultants provide property tax help so that the Clients we serve can know that their property, whether it’s apartments or industrial, medical or distribution center, warehouse or office, retail or simply vacant land has the lowest possible value allowed by law. We are specially interested in high value and special use properties.
To validate our confidence in securing the greatest possible assessed value reduction allowed by the law, CPTA receives no fee unless the property value is reduced, resulting in a property tax savings, credit or refund. The fee is simply a percentage of the savings achieved in the first full fiscal year, plus any prior years. We do not participate in future years savings except to the extent there are further reductions.
The Principals of CPTA have over 25 years of experience working to reduce commercial property taxes and we work exclusively within the State of California. We have over $2 billion ($2,000,000,000) worth of appeals filed and a history of success across all property types throughout the state. We are the California Property Tax reduction experts!
