Prior tax consultant withdrew client’s appeal

In February, we contacted the owner of a 350,000+ SF industrial warehouse to represent them at their upcoming tax appeal hearing scheduled for mid-March. During discussions with the property owner, they explained that their agent had already withdrawn the appeal and they were not sure what they could do. CRE Tax Appeal explained how we were going to fix the situation. Property owner engaged CRE Tax Appeal to represent them at their upcoming hearing. CRE Tax Appeal rescinded the withdrawal of the appeal and reinstated the appeal. CRE Tax Appeal facilitated an exchange of information between the property owner and the county assessor. Because of the prior withdrawal of the tax appeal by the previous tax consultant, the county assessor did not even want to negotiate reducing the property taxes. CRE Tax Appeal prepared an evaluation of the property with market data and legal arguments. At the hearing, we presented evidence on behalf of the property owner to the Assessment Appeals Board. CRE Tax Appeal’s efforts resulted in a $32,000 property tax refund to the property owner.
