PROPERTY TAXES

Local governments are under increasing pressure to raise revenues. Property tax is often the prime target of local taxing authorities in response to this pressure. This results in property tax becoming a larger and larger cost of doing business.

Your business doesn't have to be a willing victim to rising property taxes. Property taxes are not static, and assessments are not fixed. By reviewing your real and personal property assessment, CFG Associates can reveal new strategies to reduce your property tax burden and save significant money for your company.

Property taxes could be unjustifiably high for a variety of reasons:

bulletAssessments based on mass appraisal techniques that ignore the particular facts and circumstances of individual properties.
bulletFailure to consider depreciation, functional and economic obsolescence, changes in the way the property is used and other factors that affect value.
bulletImproper classification of property; real versus personal, building versus equipment, short-life versus long-life equipment.
bulletDouble taxation resulting from assets being taxed as both real and personal property.
bulletInequities in tax assessments for comparable properties in the same tax district.

Conduct a property tax review with CFG Associates.

A comprehensive examination of your company's real and personal property tax position can help you pinpoint potential savings and tax exposures. Even companies that initially believed their assessments were accurate have "found money" because of this highly effective review. CFG Associates' comprehensive property tax study includes:

bulletA review of your personal property tax returns, tax bills and supporting documentation to determine potential tax savings.
bulletIdentification of functional and economic obsolescence.
bulletReclassification and reappraisal of real and personal property.
bulletAnalysis of market conditions and inequities in assessments for comparable properties.
bulletIdentification of potential exemptions, credits and abatements.
