PRIMARY CONTACTS: Stephen R. Worth CPA, JD

Real and personal property taxes are one of the most substantial sources of local government revenue and can be one of the largest tax expenditures for companies.

This leaves companies with properties in multiple jurisdictions with the burden of managing a myriad of differing methodologies, regulations, and deadlines, while also monitoring the equitable administration of property value assessments.  This complexity is further compounded by the uniqueness of property taxes – unlike other taxes, property tax assessments are based on the estimated value of the property, leaving them subject to varying valuation opinions.
