Why Commercial Properties Need Tax Appeals
Commercial property tax appeals are essential because commercial properties are often over-assessed due to the complexity of their valuations. Unlike residential properties valued primarily through comparable sales, commercial properties require income-based approaches that assessors may not apply correctly.
Common Over-Assessment Causes
- Incorrect income assumptions
- Outdated market data
- Vacancy not reflected
- Below-market lease rates ignored
- Deferred maintenance not considered
Your Appeal Rights
- Challenge assessment annually
- Present actual income data
- Request informal review first
- File Tax Court petition by April 30
- Receive refund plus interest if successful
